Trekking on Africa’s highest point, the 5896-meter-high “rooftop of Africa,” is an unforgettable experience. But more importantly, anyone can reach the freezing peak at the appropriate speed, regardless of skill level. First of all, once entering the park, alpine meadows replace dense lowland woods at lower levels as the air becomes thinner. Second, the area near the summit is harsh and barren, with ice and boulders dominating over a breathtaking view of Africa. This package allows you to climb Mount Kilimanjaro through the hardest route, the Marangu Route.
