Trek Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most impressive sights in Africa and climbing it is one of the all time great achievements. Rising majestically from a rolling plain close to the Indian Ocean the mountain sores to a chilling 5,895m high peak (well above the cloud line). It's the highest mountain in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain in the world. The feeling you experience whilst watching the sun rise over the vast African plains from its summit is truly an incredible experience and something not to be missed for anybody with a sense of adventure.
Kilimanjaro National Park incorporates the area above 2,700 meters on the mountain including the moorland and highland zones - Shira Plateau, Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. Its dense forest has been under protection since 1921 when it was established as a special Game Reserve and the national park first opened its doors in 1977. Kilimanjaro’s location on an open plain close to the Indian Ocean and its great size and height strongly influence the climate, vegetation, animal life and the climbing conditions. It also creates its own weather system affecting the surrounding rainfall patterns. The mountain itself is made up of three extinct volcanoes: Kibo 19,340 feet (5,895 meters), Mawenzi 16,896 feet (5,149 meters); and Shira 13,000 feet (3,962 meters).
