By Superior African Safari Tanzania

At 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world; it is one of the Seven Summits. The snow-capped peak of Africa is a dormant volcano and can be found inside the Kilimanjaro National Park of Tanzania.

There are seven established Mount Kilimanjaro routes which lead to the summit, Uhuru Peak, one of which starts on the Northern side of the mountain and the rest on the Southern side. Northern Circuit Route, Lemosho Route,Shira Route, Machame Route (“Whiskey” Route),Rongai Route, Marangu Route (“Coca-Cola” Route) and Umbwe Route

Mount Kilimanjaro is a reasonable hard mountain to climb. With more than 50% of the climbers suffering from mountain sickness, Kilimanjaro is an extreme altitude mountain trek. Measuring 19,341 feet, or 5,895 meters, you will need to prepare well and train before attempting to climb Kilimanjaro

Climbing Kilimanjaro these days are not very hard because the paths are not steep it’s mostly dealing with the elevation, however the summit night is extremely difficulty as this is the coldest, windiest section of your adventure. An ascent of 4,084ft with 49% less oxygen and a descent of nearly 6,870ft.
