Kilimanjaro
is is the “Seventh Summit” of Africa, and
the highest free standing in the world. At nearly 6000m
high, it is a high altitude ascent, though essentially
a non technical one. At
the equator the seasons are different, and it is key
to avoid the rainy seasons of mid-October to mid-December,
and April to June. During these months there is often
too much snow on the upper mountain. Our scheduled dates
and private expeditions are all operated outside the
rainy seasons.

| ITINERARY
NOTES: Where possible we follow the itineraries,
but as mountaineering is always weather and conditions
dependant, we are sometimes forced to alter the
plans. If this is the case, a suitable different
route will be attempted, and you will be informed
at the first suitable opportunity. Please use this
outline course itinerary as a guide to the style
of expedition, with good conditions, as it will
not necessarily be an exact blueprint for the exact
routes and schedule that you will follow on the
expedition. |
