Mount Kilimanjaro rises above northern Tanzania with striking changes in scenery between its lower slopes and high summit. Kilimanjaro National Park protects this mountain environment, where walking and climbing call for a different kind of preparation from a wildlife safari. A summit trek is a dedicated journey with route planning, qualified mountain support and time to acclimatise. If climbing is not your aim, shape a gentler visit around the foothills and mountain views, subject to weather.
