Kilimanjaro The Roof of Africa
At 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world; it is one of the Seven Summits. The snow-capped peak of Africa is a dormant volcano and can be found inside the Kilimanjaro National Park of Tanzania.
Who Can Climb Kilimanjaro? Anyone from children over the age of 10 to older generations in their 60s and 70s! All you need is determination and the will to get to the summit.

Can you climb Kilimanjaro without experience?
Kilimanjaro is not a technical climb, and perfectly suitable for beginners with little or no experience, but you do need to be fit and ready for what’s involved. Success depends on being prepared, which means not rushing the climb (altitude sickness is not to be underestimated). It also means having the right equipment such as a good broken-in pair of boots, and putting in some practise beforehand.
Which is the best climbing route for Kilimanjaro?
There are seven established routes up Kilimanjaro, some of which merge with others, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The Marangu Route, or Coca Cola Route, is the shortest at just five days, and generally considered the easiest. Ironically, however, it also has the lowest success rate, as it tends to attract inexperienced and unprepared trekkers. Other Kilimanjaro routes such as Machame, Lemosho and Rongai are slightly longer and trickier.
Ultimately, your choice of route will depend on many factors such as your budget, your available time, what kind of scenery you want, and whether you want to avoid the most crowded trails.
