About Mount Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free-standing mountain and Africa's highest point. Although it sits in Tanzania, most of our clients prefer to fly into Nairobi, train on Mount Kenya or Longonot, and continue overland to Moshi with us. We work with vetted Tanzanian operator partners — the same crew, route after route — so quality stays consistent from your first day on the trail.

Trail highlights

  • Stand on Uhuru Peak, 5,895 m
  • Five distinct ecological zones in one climb
  • Choice of Machame, Lemosho or Rongai routes
  • Glaciers, craters and the famed Barranco Wall
