Why go
The highest freestanding mountain on earth, walked not climbed.
Kilimanjaro requires no technical skill but altitude makes it genuinely hard, and success rates rise sharply on longer routes. Lemosho and Machame over seven to eight days are the recommended options.
Signature experiences
- Lemosho or Machame route over 7-8 days
- Uhuru Peak summit at sunrise
- Passing through five climate zones
