Mount Kilimanjaro

The spectacular Mount Kilimanjaro lies to the north of Tanzania and attracts many visitors every year. people come to climb Kilimanjaro, to hike on its lower slopes, or to simply photograph the mountain as it rises above the African savannah, topped with snow and ice and appearing to drift in the sky. At the base of Mount Kilimanjaro lies the small town of Moshi, a pleasant, quiet town offering a range of good accommodation options. Due to its proximity to Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, Moshi provides an ideal spot to prepare for your Kilimanjaro climb or to wind down afterward. Located on the main north-south highway between Dar es Salaam and Arusha, Moshi also acts a as a comfortable and convenient stopover for those intent on undertaking a longer safari, or combining their Kilimanjaro climb with a spectacular Tanzania safari

Location

Kilimanjaro Peak more info ->

 This is the arctic zone - there is no vegetation, freezing temperatures and little air to breath. It is possible to camp in the crater but this is not a good idea as you risk AMS

Lemosho Route more info ->

 The Lemosho Route is the most unspoilt and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. It is not very busy which is an advantage at the campsites.

Lower Slopes more info ->

 Machame is the starting point of the lesser-used Machame Route taken to climb Kilimanjaro. The Machame Route is known as a wilderness route, providing stunning views and a bewildering variety of vegetation and habitats at intervals throughout its 26 km length. The trek from Machame is popular among those looking to escape the main tourist trails, although considered physically challenging - it is recommended that people looking to climb Kilimanjaro along the Machame route are fit and healthy. Due to the poor quality of the huts along the route camping in tents is recommended all the way.
