Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is located in the northern part of Tanzania, close to the border with Kenya, 5896 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Africa. It is also the highest independent volcano in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro rises abruptly from low-altitude farmlands and lush rainforests. From the rainforest to the alpine grassland, it gradually passes through the deserted mountains and reaches the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro: Kibo and Mawenzi. The tropical rain forest here is home to many different kinds of animals. There are bison, jaguar, monkeys and so on. On the ridge from Mawenzi to Kibo, you may also encounter the Gemsbok. Another reason to attract people from all over the world to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is that you only have to walk to the top of the mountain without any climbing ropes or climbing techniques. But on a five- to seven-day hike (see which mountaineering route you choose), there are certain requirements for endurance and resistance to altitude sickness.
Mount Kilimanjaro has two peaks, one called Uhuru and the other called Ma Wenji. The two peaks are connected by a saddle-shaped ridge of more than 10 kilometers. Looking far, Kilimanjaro is a mountain. The towering high mountains rise above the vast grasslands of East Africa and tower into the clouds. There is a crater with a diameter of 2,400 meters and a depth of 200 meters on the summit of Uhru, Equatorial Mount Kilimanjaro. The walls of the crater are crystal clear and immense. The bottom is covered with huge icicles, covered in ice and snow, and resembles a huge jade. Pots.

The choice of climbing season
The best season for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is the local two dry seasons each year. Usually from January to mid-March and June to October. In addition to the two dry seasons, the annual Christmas to New Year is also a season welcomed by European and American people. Therefore, at this time, local consumption is also relatively expensive.
January to March climb. In the climbing mountain road, the weather in this season is still slightly cold. Many parts of the mountain top are still covered by white snow. But the weather was fine, but there were occasional showers.
June to October is the peak season for climbing Kilimanjaro. In addition to climatic reasons, many public holidays in Europe and the United States are also distributed during this period, resulting in greater mountaineering traffic. After the rainy season in April and May, in the blue sky, the clouds seemed to float low on the treetops. For those climbers who travel to Kilimanjaro on their own, it is easy to find people who are teaming up during this time, so as to share the cost of the guide and the back husband.
Finally, there is a small detail on the choice of dates. Please pay attention to the first and fifteenth of the full moon in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The final sprint to the summit of Kilimanjaro started early in the morning. If the moonlight is shining on a mountain in the clear night sky of a full moon, besides being very visible, Kilimanjaro under the moonlight will not have a view.
Mountaineering route selection
Marang ancient route:
Of the six routes that conquered Mount Kilimanjaro, this one is the most frequent and most accessible peak. Pass through Mandera Camp, Hollen Point Camp, Kibo Campground, and reach the highest peak, the “oil gourd†peak, via Gilman Point.
Manchami Route:
It is the second most popular route after the Malangu route and is considered to be the most beautiful route to reach the summit. However, the ancient route in Bimarang was a bit more difficult. It reached the highest point through the first and second campgrounds on the Marango route, the Barranco camp, the volcanic rock tower camp, and the camp of Shira.
Hilla Heights Route:
From Xipo to the steep route of the Kibo Crater. This route is only suitable for those who are physically strong and who have experience climbing.
Rongai route:
Very steep direct route to the peak. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a lifetime experience worth remembering, so those who are adventurous and want to have a great experience can try.
Reservations and fees
After deciding which season to choose to go to Kilimanjaro, the next step is to decide whether to book the trip before departure or whether to book in the mountains after arriving in Tanzania. Of the people who climb Mount Kilimanjaro each year, 85% to 90% are booked in their own country before departure in order to maintain the continuity of the trip and save limited vacation time. Most of these booking trips, after leaving the plane, a local travel agency will take you to the accommodation and arrange everything. In many parts of Europe and the United States, there are such travel agencies that book travel agents. There are also many travel agencies in Britain that serve in Kilimanjaro. They are recommended more and have better reputation:
STA Travel:
Trailfinders:
If you have more time, you may wish to book a trip, guide, or back-to-back book directly with Tanzania. This will save you a lot of expenses. In 1991, the Kilimanjaro National Park Management Agency decided that all climbers’ trips must be assisted and arranged by local, licensed climbing agents. All climbers must complete the mountaineering journey with the guide and back husband.
Book mountaineering for hiking agents, of which the two towns at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro are preferred: Arusha, and Moshi. There are many guide services in Arusha, but the main focus is on wildlife parks. In contrast, Moshi is worth considering first. Most Kilimanjaro mountaineering agents and guide services are concentrated here. And the price here is slightly cheaper than in other places. If you book Kilimanjaro Mountaineering and Wildlife Park at the same time, the price will be cheaper than if you book separately. Of course, Moshi also wants to shop around and should choose those agencies that have a license issued by the local government. Once you have decided which service you want to use, you can ask to see their climbing equipment requirements. In particular, check the integrity of the tent and whether the zipper of the tent door is normal; this is very important for entering the high altitude, cold nights and rainy nights.
When signing a mountain guide service contract, be sure to look carefully and ask carefully, what is included in the contract and what is not included.
The basic costs should include:
1. All Kilimanjaro National Park Fees, Rescue Fees, your own, guides, backboarders use the cost of a log house or tent.
2. The salary of hired guides, assistant guides, and backstabbers.
3. Food and drinking water for climbing. (It's best to state the number of meals provided. Generally speaking, it includes three meals and one hot drink.)
4. Travel to Mount Kilimanjaro National Park and return transportation.
5. The cost of renting tents and cooking utensils.
6. The cost of renting climbing gear. Such as flashlights or headlights, sticks or poles, water bottles, etc.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro has always been considered more expensive. For hiking only, approximately US$1100 or so (2006 consumption standard, excluding tips, tips listed separately)
Back husband, chef tip $7/day/person assistant guide tip $10/day/person guide tip $15/day/person
Flights to Kilimanjaro
There are three major international airports in Tanzania: Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro International Airport. The main flights from Europe to Kilimanjaro International Airport are KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Ethiopian, Tanzania Air Tanzania, and Precision Air.
Another route is to go to Mombasa and Nairobi in Kenya. Flights from Europe to these two places will be cheaper than the Kilimanjaro International Airport. At the same time, it also gives you the opportunity to see the world-famous Kenya Wildlife Park. The visa is convenient for this route to apply for a visa to go to Kenya (RMB 444) and apply for a visa on arrival ($50) after arriving at the Kentan border. Once you have returned to the border after climbing, you will need to apply for an entry visa ($50). But the formalities are not complicated.
