At 5895 m, Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa and the highest freestanding mountain in the world, but it is possible to reach its summit, Uhuru Peak, without any technical climbing ability. Those who manage to reach the "Roof of Africa" are greatly rewarded, as they enjoy exceptional views, the unique experience of being "on top of the world" and, of course, an immense sense of achievement.
This practical guide is divided into four parts and includes all the information necessary to fully prepare for and undertake a successful trek. The first chapter covers preparation and practical aspects, offering advice on how to choose a route and an operator, as well as detailed information on travel, equipment, health considerations, guides and porters and ethical trekking.
The second chapter recounts the history of Kilimanjaro and the people, plants and wildlife of the region, presenting a fascinating overview to enrich your journey. It is followed by a description of the six main ascent routes - the Marangu, Machame, Umbwe, Lemosho, Shira and Rongai routes, plus three summit routes, two descent routes and the circuit that goes around the mountain.
