Rising directly from the plains, Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest freestanding mountain and, at 5,895m (19,340ft), is one of the highest mountain in the world which can be climbed without technical equipment.
From cultivated farmlands on the lower slopes, it rises through lush rainforest to alpine meadow and finally across a barren lunar landscape to its unique twin summits where you watch the sun rise majestically over Africa. It is an easy climb but, due to the altitude, it takes a reasonable amount of fitness and time to acclimatise, and you need a few days to do it. At Farside Africa, we use a very reputable company with experienced guides who receive regular training and have all the right kit to ensure your safety as well as theirs. There are lots of different companies offering climbs up Kilimanjaro, but it is worth paying a little extra to be in safe hands and so you get the most out this amazing climb.
