The Thrilling Challenge of Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

Sometimes it helps to do something quite daring, to take on a challenge that you wouldn’t normally consider. Sometimes, achieving things that you thought beyond you can be life-changing. Many people have found their thrills in exciting and risky sports, others run marathons and feel the great sense of achievement that comes with crossing the finishing line.

We think there is one challenge that is above and beyond all others. It’s a chance to reach – literally – amazing heights, to conquer a natural feature of great beauty and repute; we’re talking about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and one that is revered by climbers as a must-do event.

Of course, we wouldn’t advise you to climb this magnificent 5.985 metre high (that’s more than 19,000ft) mountain without preparation or by yourself. It is a challenge that requires you to take help and advice from expert guides, who know what they are doing, and who have your safety as a priority. Mountain climbing is dangerous, but if you go with the expert team from Climbing Kilimanjaro, you will be in the hands of the best guides in the business.

What Makes Kilimanjaro So Special?

The whole experience – from your initial trek through the forests and valleys of beautiful Tanzania, to the foothills and then the exhilarating climb to the peak – is a world away from any other experience you will ever have. You are completely at one with nature from the word go, and you are also guided by the right people.

It’s a fact that almost a third of people who try to climb Kilimanjaro fail to reach the summit. This is because they do not have the expert guides that Climbing Kilimanjaro provides, and they underestimate the challenge that this beautiful and majestic mountain presents to those who wish to tackle it.

The expert team at Climbing Kilimanjaro are more familiar with the mountain than perhaps anyone else, so you can rely upon them to give you the very best chance of reaching the summit, and enjoying what can only be described as breath-taking and unbelievable views from far above the world below. The sheer satisfaction of getting there, of having achieved the challenge, is something that you will never forget.

Choice of Routes

In addition to promising you the very best in equipment and safety precautions, Climbing Kilimanjaro also offer you a selection of different starting points and routes, so you can get the most out of your adventure.

Choose the quiet Rongai route for a 7-day trek and climb, and the best chance of seeing the wonderful wildlife that exists in the region. Or, you my prefer the 8-day Lemosho route, which is one of the least-travelled paths to the mountain.

There is so much to choose from, and once you start reading up about Climbing Kilimanjaro you are going to want to go, so why not have a look now, or get in touch and one of their team will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
