Rising 19,340 ft high, snow capped and
wreathed in veils of clouds, stands Mt. Kilimanjaro, the
highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free
standing mountains in the world. Our ascent of Kilimanjaro
can be considered a trek since the terrain, while steep at
times, is covered in trail all the way to the summit.
Participants can leave their ice axe and crampons at home-
the only ice you will see is the bizarre ice cap that rises
abruptly out of the moonscape surrounding the Crater Camp.
The most popular routes to take you to
the summit are Marangu Route, Machame Route, Rongai Route,
Umbwe Route and Sira Route.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is on many people’s list of lifetime
achievements and around 22,000 climbers set out each year to
conquer it, making it the most climbed mountain in the
world. Few things can compete with standing at the top of
Kilimanjaro and gazing at the African continent. At the
summit, exhaustion fades away; as the sun rises above
Kilimanjaro crater rim you know you have finally met this
exhilarating African challenge. The Mountain can be climbed
at any time of the year, but the rainy seasons (April-June;
November-December) make the forest more slippery and the
summit might be blocked by snow. Be prepared for climatic
extremes, from rain in the forest, intense sun in the alpine
desert and freezing temperatures at the summit. It’s
essential to have warm clothes and a good sleeping bag.

If
you are on your own, or with just one other
person, we will try, as far as possible, to
fit you in with another group following the
same program as yours. It is however
possible, on request, to have your own
private trip. Most fit individuals with some
mountain walking experience can make it to
the top of Africa.
