About this experience

Climbing the top of one of the highest peaks in the world is an experience you will not forget. Being on top of the world will leave a mark on you. Its breathtaking views, unique wildlife and flora, and awesome trekking tracks make Mount Kilimanjaro one of the top places you should add to your bucket list!

Because, simply put, Kilimanjaro is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. The scenery ranges from the sublime to the spectacular, with skies clear and landscape rugged. It's also a very unearthly place, at times. But it's also always fascinating, and always beautiful.

One of the most remarkable features of Mount Kilimanjaro is the glacial summit of Kibo, which gives the peak its snowy cap.

Mount Kilimanjaro is not just Africa’s highest peak and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. It is also one of the Seven Summits of the world. Rising at 5,895 meters above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro features a snow-capped peak all year round.
