Standing majestically at 5,892 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, this inactive volcano is Africa’s highest peak and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. As one of the famed Seven Summits, setting out to climb Kilimanjaro has all the makings of a great bucket list adventure.

Having gone all the way to climb Kilimanjaro, most climbers choose to extend their trip with a Tanzanian safari or even some beach time in Zanzibar or on the mainland coast. It is the perfect way to round off the African holiday of a lifetime.
