Mount Kilimanjaro routes

As Tanzania's landmark, Kilimanjaro towers over the surrounding African plains. In fact, it is the highest freestanding mountain in the world (5,895 meters/ 19,341 ft). It is also the highest mountain that can be climbed without technical equipment and climbing skills. For the most part, it it takes just putting one foot in front of the other. Although this sounds simple, it is most likely the toughest challenge you will ever
face. The biggest obstacle is lack of oxygen at such a high altitude. Without expert guidance, this climb can be very dangerous.
