Climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro the roof of Africa
During your trek to climb Kilimanjaro you will pass through a range of climatic zones beginning with tropical rainforest, then alpine heath with the rather unusual looking groundsel tree, across a lunar landscape and up to glaciers near the summit. The best months for Kilimanjaro are from January to mid-March and from early June to mid-October.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a real challenge and most trekkers find the summit day a very tough experience with over 1,000m of ascent at extreme altitude. It is important to note that this is a non technical climb and would be a suitable objective for fit and experienced hill walkers. We recommend that you start a training program at least three months before departure.
