Overview of Mt. Kilimanjaro

Rising 5 895 meters (19 341 ft) above the surrounding landscape, Mount Kilimanjaro holds the dual records of being Africa’s highest and the world’s tallest freestanding mountain.  With habitats ranging from rainforest to alpine desert, it is an ecologically diverse environment blessed with outstanding scenic beauty.  As a non-technical, yet challenging climb, it is easily accessible via the nearby towns of Arusha and Moshi, close to Kilimanjaro International Airport.  Whether novice or experienced, seen from its base or the summit, Mount Kilimanjaro promises a rewarding experience equal to the challenge of scaling its weathered, sheer slopes.

Best Time To Go​

Trekking during optimal seasons enhances both safety and the scenic beauty along the way, making your climb as memorable as the destination.

While it is possible to climb Mount Kilimanjaro throughout the year, for reasons of comfort and safety it is recommended that you time your trek during either of the two Dry Seasons, especially if this is your first high-altitude climb.
