1. When we think about touring to Africa, we think about vast savanna
plains, tropical beaches, lions and leopards. But just south of the Equator
stands Mount Kilimanjaro, a glacier capped summit, the tallest free
standing mountain in the globe. A Kilimanjaro climbing holiday is on
several adventurous traveler’s bucket list. A mixture of ‘conquering’ one of
the 7 peaks, and accomplishing something exceptional makes Kilimanjaro
a fulfilling destination.

2. Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro can limply be compared to hiking from the
Equator to the North Pole, in regards of climate zones. You’ll be trekking
from the low lying civilized regions of the lower slopes right up to the
Arctic tundra of the Ice Cap zone. It is enthralling to observe how the
plant life changes from the lush green splendor of the montane forests to
the harsh arctic desert. While the peak may be the end goal – it is the
journey that is spectacular.

3. Everyone has their own reason for wanting to climb to the Roof of
Africa. For many, it’s a physical challenge, for others it’s deeply
personal. For some it’s all about the summit, for others it’s about the
scenery. Whatever the reason you want to climb Mt Kilimanjaro it is
going to be a trip and adventure of your life.
