Description

A guidebook to climbing 5895m Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest mountain in Africa and the worlds highest free-standing mountain. Unlike many other peaks of its height, it is possible to reach the summit without any technical climbing, making it an achievable goal for many.

The guidebook covers the six ascent routes (Marangu, Machame, Rongai, Lemosho, Shira and Umbwe), three summit ascents, two descent routes and the circuit path. A full expedition can be completed in 47 days, although more generous itineraries are recommended to allow for acclimatisation. Also included in the guidebook is an ascent of neighbouring Mount Meru, which could be used as an acclimatisation trek.

  • Route description illustrated with clear sketch mapping
  • All the information you need to prepare for a trek, including budgeting, transport, permits and visas, and equipment
  • Guidance on choosing a route and an outfitter, plus a list of reputable outfitters
  • Health and safety considerations, including recommended inoculations and altitude sickness
  • Fascinating insights into the areas geology, history, culture, plants and wildlife
