THE MOUNTAIN
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is usually a "once in a lifetime" experience for most people, so it is vital that proper preparations are made beforehand. With superior information and sufficient time to prepare, you stand an extremely good chance of reaching the summit.
Mt. Kilimanjaro View Lodge provides guided/portered treks up Mt. Kilimanjaro ("Kili"). Kili is the most popular (i.e., has the most trekkers visit the mountain) of the "Big Seven," the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. Snow-covered, 19,710-feet-high Kili is a great source of pride in Tanzania separating Tanzania and Kenya. Anyone over the age of 10 can hike to the summit so long as they are in reasonably good physical shape.
Park authorities require that all trekkers arrange
their walk through a licensed agency and that they be accompanied throughout
their walk by a guide. Our guides know the different routes, where the
huts are and can arrange a trek for you, whether five to six days to
the summit or a weekend trip to a "half-way" point. Stay in
the huts along the way, or camp in tents, depending on the route you
take.
The many ways of climbing Kilimanjaro have been left to the end, for it is first necessary to understand that there is a great deal more to Africa's highest landmark than simply climbing it. You can climb Mount Kilimanjaro through different approved routes ranging from Marangu, Umbwe, Machame, Rongai to Lemosho routes.
