MOUNT KILIMANJARO

The three prominent peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro

• Shira - 3,962 m (13,000 ft.)
One of Africa's true icons, Kilimanjaro is the
continent's best-known and highest mountain
and appears on nearly every adventurers' list of
'must-dos'. And once you see the snow-capped
peak of this majestic mountain, you'll
understand why. A number of routes to the
summit are available, and you can choose
according to how much time you have, how fit
you are and how far 'off the beaten track' you
want to get. We at Easy Travel can advise you of
the best route for you, as well as taking care of
all the complex and important arrangements,
essential to giving you the best Kilimanjaro
experience.
Although no specialist climbing expertise or
equipment is required, the ascent of 'Kili' does
demand a reasonable level of fitness and some
steely determination. It should never be
underestimated, nor undertaken with anyone
other than a reputable operator. But the
rewards for trekkers are undoubtedly
worthwhile, for this is much more than a mere
mountain. Formed through the coming -
together of three now - extinct volcanoes,
Mount Kilimanjaro passes through a number of
distinct vegetation zones on its way skywards.
The diversity of forest, moorland, alpine and
arctic landscapes guarantees the intrepid
climber the chance to admire a fascinating
variety of mammals, insects and plant life –
welcome distractions, perhaps, from the hard
work of climbing. Africa summit with African King Tours & Safaris
