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.
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.
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.
