KILI REAL LIFE ADVENTURES

Mount Kilimanjaro is often called ‘The Roof of Africa’; as it is Africa’s highest point and the world’s highest free-standing mountain; in Tanzania. Rising in absolute isolation, at 5,895 m (19,336 ft), dormant volcanic Kilimanjaro is one of the highest walkable summits on the planet. Kilimanjaro, commonly called Kili, is located near the town of Moshi and is a protected area; carefully regulated for climbers to enjoy without leaving a trace of their presence. At 5896m Mt Kilimanjaro has three main volcanic peaks, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. This is where your trekking adventure will take place.
Kilimanjaro the highlight of most visitors’ experiences in Tanzania, with magnificent sights of ecosystem, so much more to Kili than her summit. The ascent of the slopes is a virtual climatic world tour, from the tropics to the Arctic. Even before you cross the national park boundary (at the 2,700m contour), the cultivated footslopes give way to lush montane forest, inhabited by elusive elephant, leopard, buffalo, the endangered Abbot’s duiker, and other small antelope and primates. Higher still lies the moorland zone, where a cover of giant heather is studded with otherworldly giant lobelias. Above 4,000m, a surreal alpine desert supports little life other than a few hardy mosses and lichen. Then, finally, the last vestigial vegetation gives way to a winter wonderland of ice and snow – and the magnificent beauty of the roof of the continent.

And now the trekking adventures begins. Be left not behind.
