The Mount Kilimanjaro climb has attracted experienced and non-experienced trekkers from all over the world. The beauty of the climb is that it is possible to reach the summit without technical mountaineering equipment. Rising in absolute isolation, at 5,895m, Kilimanjaro is one of the highest walkable summits on the planet. For many, it represents the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime personal challenge – an arduous but highly rewarding 6 to 8 day trek up to Uhuru Point (the actual summit) or to Gillman’s Point (on the lip of the crater).
Do you have a yearning for Kilimanjaro adventure?
Many people like you do. In fact, over 35,000 people each year attempt to summit Kilimanjaro. Why should you be one of those people?
Of those 35,000, many do not make the summit. The most important factor in making the summit is selecting a reputable operator. Many people only see the cost of the climb and go with budget operators. This is not only the wrong way to choose your guide service, it is also unsafe. Despite it being a walkable mountain, Kilimanjaro is not easy and preparation is imperative.
Getting Kilimanjaro Airport There:
The trip begins with pick-up at Kilimanjaro International Airport, located between Arusha and Moshi. The most convenient flight is KLM direct from Amsterdam, but other connections may be made through Nairobi, with a short flight to Kilimanjaro. The leader will provide guidance for travel plans once you are approved for the trip. Please do not make nonrefundable travel arrangements until notified to do so by the trip leader.
You must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry into Tanzania. A Tanzania visa is also required, and details on how you apply for that will be provided once you are approved for the trip.
