Mount Kilimanjaro
MOUNT KILIMANJARO is Africa’s highest mountain and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Its highest peak Kibo stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 ft), yet it is not just accessible to serious mountaineers. Climbing Kilimanjaro is an incredible experience and is hopefully something that you will remember all your life. The climb to the roof of Africa requires fitness, endurance and perseverance but should not cause undue problems as long as climbers realize that it is a serious endeavor and listen to the experience and advice of their guides. The summit of Kilimanjaro is 500 meters higher than Everest Base Camp, so do not attempt to climb Kilimanjaro unless you are reasonably fit. The key to climbing Kilimanjaro successfully is ‘Pole Pole’ – ‘Slowly Slowly’
