Conquer the Highest Peak in Africa

Located in Tanzania, Africa, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak on the continent and offers a mountain adventure for anyone who wants to conquer it.

To ensure you have the best chance of reaching the summit, it’s crucial to have an excellent guide by your side.

Mount Kilimanjaro’s three peaks were formed after volcanic eruptions millions of years ago.

  • Kibo “Uhuru Peak” is the highest, with its famous Uhuru Peak at almost 5895 meters above sea level.
  • Mawenzi Peak is located to the east of the mountain, which is the older core of a former summit standing 5146 meters above sea level.
  • Shira Peak is now an extinct volcanic cone that is located west of the mountain, which is 3962 meters above sea level.

 

The slope of Kilimanjaro National Park has 4 major zones:

  • Rainforest: Montane forest zone (1,900-2,900 m): There is wildlife in this area.
  • Heather-Moorland zone (2,900-4,000 m): Shrubs and unique flora are everywhere.
  • Alpine Desert (4,000-5,000m): Barren and unique landscapes featuring volcanic rocks in varied shapes and sizes, and also extreme temperatures
  • Glacier Summit zone (5,000-5,895): An arctic zone

6 Days of Amazing Safari
We had a great tour with JM Tours. They are always willing to make your Safari the best it can be! Bashiri was the best guide and driver you could ask for! He kept the vehicle in good working order, and I still do not know how he spotted everything we saw. It was amazing!
