EPIC Mt Kilimanjaro

The world’s tallest free-standing mountain

Epic Journeys

Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest free-standing mountain at 5,895 metres (19,354 feet) and one of the “Seven Summits” – the highest mountains of each of the seven continents.

All of our climbs are tailored to a luxury specification and supported by a full complement of mountain guides, camp staff and porters. Our guides are the most experienced on the mountain.

Kilimanjaro can be climbed throughout the year but the rainy seasons are best avoided (mid-March to mid-June and late October through mid-December.)

Of course, a climb of Kili also provides an opportunity for an African safari thereafter, given its proximity to iconic game parks like Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, also in Tanzania. At a minimum it is worth considering 3 to 4 nights in the Serengeti to take in the migration post-climb.

To summit Mount Kilimanjaro on a breathless, blue sky dawn is surely one of life’s great experiences.
