Soaring nearly twenty thousand feet from a flat plain, Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain and one of the world's largest volcanoes. Six established routes to the summit draw over twenty thousand mountain trekkers yearly, with less than half attaining the peak. Whether you are a seasoned veteran climber or just a novice who wants to spend some time on the rocks, you can enjoy a good climb, and then relax at one of Kilimanjaro hotels.

Tanzania offers some of the best trekking in all of Africa, from the highest point in Africa - on Mt. Kilimanjaro - to the burnt plains of the Rift Valley, with many fascinating places in between.
