Set on the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, close to the Kenyan border in Northern Tanzania, the vibrant town of Moshi is known as a coffee producing hub boasting vast coffee plantations. The majestic snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro towers over this little African town. Moshi serves as the gateway to the Kilimanjaro National Park and provides an excellent base from which to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain.
Mount Kilimanjaro, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, is the highest mountain in Africa (5 895 metres ) and the highest walkable summit in the world. One of the legendary seven Summits, and a bucket list challenge for many people, any reasonably fit person can reach the summit of Kilimanjaro with the help of a team of dedicated porters and guides. A minimum of five days is needed for the hike up, and with several routes to choose from, climbers ascend from the steaming tropical rain forests, through heath land and alpine desert, finally reaching the permanent glaciers and the summit, Uhuru Peak. We at Wild Frontiers have been taking climbers safely up Kili since 1991 and have firsthand experience of what it’s like. We will hold your hand every step of the way – from early planning and preparation, all the way to the top of Africa! Our success rate for summiting is over 95% and is attributed to good preparation and professional guiding. Our guides are the very best available, and their enthusiasm, knowledge of the region and care for you will ensure that your hike is both comfortable and rewarding.
