Mount Kilimanjaro – Tanzania

#hikingtrails Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, is a bucket-list adventure for trekkers worldwide. Standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), it rises majestically above the plains of Tanzania, offering a challenging yet non-technical climb that attracts thousands of hikers each year. Known as the “Roof of Africa,” Kilimanjaro offers multiple routes, each with unique landscapes—from rainforest and moorland to alpine desert and arctic summit.

However, altitude sickness is a serious risk, and proper preparation and a gradual ascent are crucial. Popular routes like Machame and Lemosho offer more scenic views and better acclimatization profiles, while the Marangu Route is known for its hut accommodations.
