Africa's highest peak

The place

About Kilimanjaro

Trek to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m. Seven days on the Machame Route offers the best acclimatization profile, and the views from Barranco Wall are worth every step. Kilimanjaro's glaciers have shrunk by 85% since 1912 the last of them are expected to disappear within 20 years, so if you're going to climb, this is the decade.
