KILIMANJARO TREKS
Kilimanjaro's two main peaks, the craggy Mawenzi at 5,149m and the flat-topped glaciated Kibo at 5,896m, are separated by a high altitude, semi-desert area 5kms wide known as the saddle. Screes, glaciers, alpine moorlands and forests lead down to the cultivated foothills. The Marangu route is the most popular approach to the mountain and will take you at a gentle pace through all of these dramatically different zones.
