KILIMANJARO
The Climb
February 15 - 24, 2011

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding peak in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. It is Africa’s representative on the prestigious listing of the world’s “seven summits.” For the adventurous, a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the things in life that you just must do.
     A trek through the mists of equatorial jungle and the summit’s steep approaches is richly rewarded by the breathtaking views from the top. Although Mount Kilimanjaro lies close to the equator, its peaks have a permanent covering of snow and ice.
     There are several routes to the summit, most notably on the western flank of the mountain. The Marangu route is the most popular, and the Machame and Shira routes are the most demanding and physically challenging. Kilimanjaro consists of three distinct summits.
     To the west is the Shira Plateau, while Mawenzi Peak lies to the east. Between the two is Uhuru Peak, the snow-capped summit that reaches 19,340 feet (5,895 meters) into the equatorial skies. This trek does not require any technical mountaineering equipment or skills, and we strive to attain Uhuru Peak, literally the “roof of Africa.”

For this special adventure, we have joined with partner company GLOBAL ADRENALINE, located in Chicago with partners in Tanzania. They are experts on everything relating to Tanzania, so it is only logical that they handle all elements of this tour, field all your questions and attend to your special requirements directly.
