This majestic mountain starts out 900 meters in elevation by the coastal savannah and reaches an incredible 5,895 meters (19,336 feet), making it the world’s highest solidary mountain and the top point in Africa. This awe-inspiring view looks out over east Africa and is a beauty to behold.

Kilimanjaro Trekking Routes

Although one of the world’s tallest mountains, Mount Kilimanjaro is actually also very approachable to climbers. Resolute hikers will be able to reach the crater rim with just the appropriate clothing and a walking stick. For those going to the summit at Uhuru Point or the lip of the crater at Gillman’s Point, you will gain invaluable hiking experience with spectacular views. While Mount Kilimanjaro is known for its summit, the entire mountain offers insight into many climates that are seen around the world. Starting before the park limits, you will find elephants, leopards, buffalos, Abbot’s duikers, antelope, and primates gathered in the thriving forest. Beyond that lies the moorlands and then at 4,000 meters in elevation, only sturdy mosses and lichen can survive in the hilly desert. At the “roof of Africa,” there is only ice and snow which cannot support the vegetation of the lower lands, but behold the amazing view.
