Welcome to a place where dreams are made of! Isn't it stunning? Also known as the "Mountain of Mystery" due to its snowcap in Africa. She reaches 19 341ft and consists of 3 peaks which you can climb. SHIRA PEAK @ 3962m, MAWENZI PEAK @ 5149m and KIBO PEAK @ 5895m.
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa on the northern side of Tanzania. She's an extinct volcanoe. In 1861, Richard Thornton was the 1st climber to attempt her, but failed.
Best times to go climbing is Jan., Feb., Sep., Oct. & December, otherwise you get to much rain and this tough tour becomes unpleasant.
Climbing Kilimanjaro can be combined with a Kenyan safari tour. Treks are 6-10 days and anything from 9-100km. Various tours are available to suite you. Prices vary and include accomodation, meals, camping equipment, climbing permit, government taxes, oxygen, salaries for guides and crew.....
You can also opt for skydiving, hotair balloon rides, horseback safaris and more. At an extra cost, you can get photos and videos of your tour.
You get a certifiate if you succesfully complete your climb. So, I suggest, unlike me, you get fit as a fiddle, plan well and enjoy the fresh air of Mount Kilimanjaro!
