Of course, long, arduous mountain hikes are not for everyone, but the bird's-eye view of the highest free-standing mountain in the world is a treat for any Kilimanjaro traveller in its own right. The experience of the mountain is very different from the sky, with many unique views you can’t get on the ground.
From a height of 21,000 feet, you will catch glimpses of volcanic Kibo Peak and Reusch Crater, the hazardous Mawenzi Peak, glistening 197,000-year-old glaciers, and, of course, the famous Kilimanjaro summit, in all her snow-covered glory.
The route will take you from Arusha, flying over Ngurudoto crater and Shira plateau, where you will see the dramatic change in the landscape from forest to desert, before approaching the magnificent views of the mountain right in front of you. The trip includes a descriptive audio guide so you won’t miss any of the beauty the area has to offer.
