The highest mountain of Africa is 5895m/19,340ft high, but technically the easiest of the continental highpoints. The gentle slopes take you through many different climate zones and ecosystems, until you reach the crater rim, surrounded with some of the last glaciers in Africa. A wonderful experience that can be accomplished by anybody in a decent shape. An ascent to the roof of Africa can easily be combined with a nice Safari to the Serengeti or the NgoroNgoro crater. Kilimanjaro can be climbed all year round. August & September are generally busiest; May is normally not crowded at all as it is rainy season. Kili is technically easy – no crampons, rope or ice axes are needed – but it is a strenuous hike and to prevent altitude disease your climb should take at least 7 days on the mountain, with 8-10 days recommended for a better experience. Luggage will be carried by porters and cooks will prepare the meals!
