Kilimanjaro Intro

Kilimanjaro.



At 5,895 m (19,341 ft) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the continent of Africa.  Kili is a stratovolcano composed of three volcanic cones - Kibo, the highest, Mawenzi at 5,149 m (16,893 ft), and Shira at 5,005 m (13,140 ft).  There are multiple climbing routes to the summit - Uhuru Peak, ranging from the Marungu Route (Coca Cola Route) - most frequently climbed, to the Umbwe Route - reputedly the most difficult and demanding route, but the most spectacular and least frequently climbed.  The Umbwe Route is the one we've selected.



Our time on the mountain is planned to be 7 days, from February 4 - 10, 2019.
