The snow-capped pinnacle of Mount Kilimanjaro is generally obscured by clouds, but on clear days, the sight of the summit is one of the most stunning on the continent. Mount Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s highest mountain but also the world’s largest free-standing mountain, towering nearly six vertical kilometers above the surrounding plains, making a Mount Kilimanjaro safari a genuine once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Mount Kilimanjaro, or Kili as it is affectionately known, is a relatively young mountain that was built by volcanic activity around a million years ago. It is made up of three peaks: Shira, Mawenzi, and Uhuru. It’s a famous, evocative location, and the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park protects the entire summit from a height of 2 700 meters.
Although the peak is located in Tanzania, the best views of it may be found just across the border in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park. But it is the opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro that has made this 5,896-meter peak so attractive. Kilimannjaro is climbed by around 20,000 people each year and requires no special training or specialized equipment.
Kilimanjaro is a strenuous walk that normally takes five days or more; to participate in a Kilimanjaro safari tour, you must be physically fit and mentally prepared, as well as have the appropriate high-altitude clothes and camping equipment. There are numerous approaches to the summit, each with its own level of difficulty, climbing time, and natural beauty.
The dry months of January, February, and September are always regarded to be the finest months to climb Kilimanjaro. July and August are equally pleasant, albeit a little cooler.
