Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania, East Africa. It is near the border of Kenya, within Kilimanjaro National Park.
Mount Kilimanjaro stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, making it the highest peak in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world.
No, Mount Kilimanjaro is a "walk-up" mountain, meaning it does not require technical climbing skills like rock climbing or the use of ropes. However, it is still a challenging trek due to the altitude.
The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons: January to mid-March and June to October, when the weather is clearer and more stable.
Most routes take between 5 to 9 days. The longer the route, the more time you have to acclimatize to the altitude, increasing your chances of a successful summit.
