🏔️ Mount Kilimanjaro

Moshi, Tanzania

Best time: January–March and June–October, the dry seasons with the best summit odds

Africa's highest peak at 5,895 metres, glaciers on the equator. No climbing skills needed: a six-to-eight-day trek takes you from rainforest to ice fields.

Good to know

• You must climb with a licensed operator; longer routes give better acclimatisation.
• Not climbing? You can see the summit from Moshi or Amboseli.
