Rising majestically above the plains of northern Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain and one of the world’s most iconic natural landmarks. Its dramatic volcanic landscapes and diverse ecosystems make it an unforgettable destination for adventurous travellers. Several trekking routes wind through lush rainforest, heather-covered moorland and otherworldly alpine terrain before reaching the summit of Uhuru Peak. Along the way, spectacular views stretch across the surrounding plains and national parks. Nearby Arusha is a lively gateway to Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s celebrated northern safari circuit, with colourful markets, restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere.
The best times to climb Mount Kilimanjaro are from January to March and June to October, when conditions are generally drier and visibility is at its best. These months offer ideal trekking conditions and the greatest chance of enjoying clear views from Africa's highest summit.
Many international visitors require a visa to enter Tanzania. E-visas are available for many nationalities and should be arranged before travel where applicable.
Mount Kilimanjaro is located in northern Tanzania near the town of Moshi and is accessible via Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). The mountain is climbed via several established routes, including Marangu, Machame, Lemosho and Rongai, with guided treks available for all experience levels.
