Discover the roof of Africa

The world's highest standalone mountain is an amazing sight to behold from up close. On a clear day, it can be seen from over 300 km (190 miles) away and its eye-catching, snow-capped peak is usually hidden from view by a blanket of clouds. What not many people know is that Kilimanjaro is remarkably easy to climb, requiring only basic levels of fitness. The trek up the mountain usually takes about five days and routes pass through various habitats, including rain forest and a glacier on top. It is an unforgettable experience to stand on the roof of Africa, over 5 800 m (19 000 feet) above sea level and gaze out over the plains below.
