Mount Kilimanjaro, standing majestically at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), is the highest peak in Africa and one of the Seven Summits of the world. Located in northern Tanzania, this iconic mountain attracts adventurers from around the globe seeking to challenge themselves on its breathtaking slopes. Unlike other high peaks, Kilimanjaro is a free-standing volcanic mountain with diverse ecosystems ranging from lush rainforests and alpine meadows to glaciers and the rocky summit.
There are several trekking routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro, each offering unique landscapes, challenges, and experiences. Choosing the right route depends on your experience level, fitness, and preference.

Kilimanjaro can be climbed year-round, but the best trekking conditions occur during Tanzania’s dry seasons:
January to March – Fewer crowds, colder temperatures, and occasional snowfall at the summit
June to October – Most popular season, offering dry weather and excellent visibility
The rainy seasons (April-May and November) are generally avoided due to muddy trails and reduced visibility, although they provide a quieter and more secluded experience.
