About Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro National Park protects Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcanic mountain standing at 5,895 meters above sea level. The park covers the mountain and surrounding forest belt, offering a unique journey through multiple climate zones from tropical rainforest to alpine desert and arctic summit.

Climbing Kilimanjaro does not require technical mountaineering skills, making it one of the most accessible high-altitude climbs in the world. However, proper acclimatization and preparation are essential due to altitude challenges.

The park is also rich in biodiversity, with elephants, colobus monkeys, antelopes, and a variety of bird species living in the lower forest zones.
