About Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania. It is the tallest free standing mountain in the world at 5,895m/19,341ft. It is also the tallest mountain in Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano with three volcanic cones named Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Kilimanjaro is what is known as a "walk-up", a trekking peak that can be done without using technical equipment or mountaineering skills. To summit Kilimanjaro you will need self-discipline for training, and an abundance of mental strength. We are firm believers that anyone can accomplish this truly life changing feat.
