Kilimanjaro

Africa’s highest peak, and the only one you can walk up.

Overview

At 5,895 metres, Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the highest point in Africa. No technical climbing is required on any of the seven established routes, which is why it draws around 35,000 trekkers a year. Success rates vary enormously by route and itinerary length — the difference between five days and eight is the difference between roughly half and over ninety percent.
