Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, stands majestically in Tanzania. This dormant stratovolcano rises 19,341 feet above sea level, its snow-capped summit contrasting with the surrounding lush rainforests. Kilimanjaro’s diverse ecosystems attract trekkers seeking a challenging ascent and a unique ecological experience. Its five main climbing routes offer adventurers the chance to witness breathtaking landscapes, from the arid deserts at its base to the icy glaciers near the peak. Kilimanjaro’s cultural significance to local Chagga and Maasai communities adds to its allure, making it a must-visit destination for both nature enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper connection to East Africa’s rich heritage.

Wade Family

"My husband and I had the opportunity to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with Abdul Hemedi as one of our guides. We were most impressed with his professionalism and patience. He made the climb so enjoyable. We noticed Abdul's concern for the well being of our porters and cook. He is a porter's advocate! We did not have the opportunity to take advantage of the home stay option. Maybe, next time."

Recommendation

Kyle Kulinski

Climbing the mountain with Abdul was such a great experience! The knowledgeable and light-hearted guides kept us motivated to push on up on the mountain. Reaching the top was truly liberating.
