Kilimanjaro Safari
 Go on
a Kilimanjaro Safari and visit the world's largest free standing
mountain - measuring in at a whopping 5000 metres. Those who have been
on safari to Kilimanjaro can really say they have stood on the Roof of
Africa!
According to legend, the first person to ascend Kilimanjaro was King
Menelik 1, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.The first
Europeans to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro were Dr Hans Meyer and
Ludwig Purtscheller. Today, more than 20,000 people a year attempt the
climb, and efforts are being made to stop the erosion on the most
popular routes.
There are several ways of conquering this giant, and although no
experience is required, the effects of altitude and the cold put
anyone's physical and mental stamina to the test. If this all seems a
little bit too strenuous for you, one of our safari tours focuses on
viewing the mountain from below.
The best months to climb the mountain are January, February and
September. July and August are also fine, but somewhat colder
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a great
adventure and you’ll experience an enormous sense of achievement looking
down at Africa from the top.
