Africa's Highest Peak

Climbing Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro stands at 5,895 meters above sea level, making it Africa's tallest mountain and the world's highest free-standing peak. Rising majestically from the Tanzanian plains, this dormant volcano offers trekkers a once-in-a-lifetime journey through five distinct climate zones — from tropical rainforest to arctic summit.

Unlike many of the world's great peaks, Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing skills or special equipment. What it demands is determination, proper preparation, and the right team by your side. With Wild Call Tanzania, you climb with a licensed guide, a porter team and a cook, all there to get you safely to Uhuru Peak and back.

We offer multiple routes to the summit, each with its own character, scenery, and difficulty level. Whether you prefer the popular Machame Route, the scenic Lemosho, or the quiet Rongai approach, we'll help you choose the perfect path to the Roof of Africa.

Success rates are approximate. More days on the mountain means more time to acclimatize, and that does more than anything else to raise your chance of reaching the summit.
