Since its official opening in 1977, Kilimanjaro National Park has become one of Tanzanias most visited parks.

Unlike the other northern parks, this isnt for the wildlife although wildlife is there. Rather, its to gaze in awe at a mountain on the equator capped with snow, and to take advantage of the chance to climb to the top of Africa. At the heart of the park is the 5896m Mt Kilimanjaro, Africas highest peak and one of the continents magnificent sights. Its also one of the highest volcanoes and among the highest freestanding mountains in the world, rising from cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, through lush rainforest to alpine meadows, and finally across a barren lunar landscape to the twin summits of Kibo and Mawenzi. A trek up Kilimanjaro lures hundreds of trekkers each year, in part because its possible to walk to the summit without ropes or technical climbing experience. Yet, the climb is a serious (and expensive) undertaking, and only worth doing with the right preparation.
