Kilimanjaro - Africa's majestic volcano

Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 metres, is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the roof of Africa, it is a dream destination for adventurers and nature lovers. This iconic volcano rises majestically above the savannahs of Tanzania and offers an unparalleled experience for mountaineers seeking the challenge of a climb, as well as for safari travellers who want to admire its imposing silhouette.

Kilimanjaro is known for the extraordinary changes in landscape that hikers experience on the way to the summit. From the tropical rainforest on the lower slopes, which is home to colobus monkeys and colourful birds, the ascent leads through moorland, alpine deserts and finally up to the snow-covered crater rim. Each stage of the ascent offers new, fascinating views and different ecosystems.

For many, the highlight is the climb to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, where they experience a spectacular sunrise over the African continent. Despite its height, Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing skills, making it an accessible destination for adventurous travellers with physical stamina and determination.

In addition to the climb, Kilimanjaro is also an impressive sight for safari travellers, who can often admire the mountain in the background of their tours through the nearby national parks. Whether for ambitious mountaineers or nature lovers who enjoy the sight of the majestic peak, Kilimanjaro remains an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Tanzania.
