About this experience
KILIMANJARO GENERAL
MOUNT KILIMANJARO is a very special mount
It’s the highest singular mountain in the world. That’s means it has the greatest ascent from its base to its summit.
It’s easiest to climb of the seven summit, interestingly the 1950 version of the seven summits also two more Holy Mountains Mt. Blanc and Kosciusko and for us KILIMANJARO IS A HOLY MOUNTAIN
The highest holy mountain by over 5000feet andMone of the 3 Holy mountain’s that contain special Energy.
KILIMANJARO does not require any skills but instead a lot of walking, just over 40 miles and an ascent of about 13000 feet, spread over 6 days ascending and an ascent 2 days descending. Do not be put off be believing you are too unfit, too old, too young or too whatever. More that anything KILIMANJARO requires persistence and determination.
