Lying only 3 degrees south of the equator and 5895m above sea level, the snow capped majestic Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest and the world's highest freestanding mountain.

Kilimanjaro is notable for its dramatic geographical features as well as beautiful mountain vegetation, abundant bird life and plentiful game. The mountain can be climbed at almost any time of the year although it is often wet in the rain forest zone during the rainy season of Mid-March to May.

The summit of Kilimanjaro can be conquered in a matter of three days climbing and two days descent with the assistance of a guide and porters. The youngest person to have achieved this honour was an 11 year old, and the oldest to make the summit to date was 74 years old.
