Kilimanjaro Peak

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.

Kilimanjaro has fumaroles that emit sulphurous gas into the crater on the summit of Kibo. In 2003 molten magma was apparently just 400m below the summit crater.

Testimonials

"My friends and I went to Kili as well with MK Safaris in early 2008, and I agree with climbingkili - they are absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Caspar, made the trip a real pleasure.

We said goodbye to our fantastic crew at breakfast, with Kili standing majestically in the background blanketed again in a fresh layer of snow. The final hike down on Day 6 was not too bad. We had a celebratory Kilimanjaro Beer at the lunch stop, and we all felt quite energised. I ran the last 9km. Well maybe that's a bit of an exageration!
