KL Trip Overview:
At 19,336 feet, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is Africa's highest peak. It is the world's tallest walkable mountain, and what a walk it is. You ascend through five different ecological zones to reach the summit.
Kilimanjaro is the world's highest free standing, snow-covered equatorial mountain. Picturing the towering snow-covered cone rising majestically from fertile green foothills is definitelly something to experience.
This is the classic, most straightforward route up Kilimanjaro, staying in the relative comfort of mountain huts. If you don’t like the idea of crawling into a tent after a day’s hiking, this trip is for you. On your way up you’ll traverse through several ecosystems too; Walk through forests and alpine meadows, over rocky ravines and past lunar landscapes to the spectacular summit of Africa's highest peak. This classic trek follows the most popular route to Mont Kilimanjaro and is the only one serviced by mountain huts, to provide protection from the elements. It's the most direct path to the summit and covers the trail in just six days, with the help of experienced guides and porters.

Stay in mountain huts rather than a tent
A real experience with slightly more comfort than sleeping on the ground as you will get to rest in a bed in the mountain hut dormitories. A great way to make new friends and share the magical experience of the trek. All huts on the route are manned and in radio contact with the Park Headquarters at Marangu.
