Overview
About Kilimanjaro National Park
Kilimanjaro National Park protects the slopes and summit of Africa's tallest mountain, a free-standing volcanic massif rising to 5,895 m above sea level at Uhuru Peak. Six major trekking routes — Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, Rongai, Umbwe and Northern Circuit — wind through five distinct climate zones from rainforest to alpine desert to arctic summit. No technical climbing experience is required; fitness and acclimatisation are the key factors for success.
