Overview & Natural Wonder
Rising majestically to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above the East African plains, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the crown roof of Africa.
Trekkers journey through five distinct ecological climate zones—from lush montane rainforest to alpine moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit crater at Uhuru Peak. Reaching the summit at dawn as the sun crests over the savannah is an extraordinary, life-affirming achievement for adventurers of all ages.
