Mount Kilimanjaro is a place of myth and folklore. Located 200 miles (325 km) from the equator, the mountain defies logic with its crown of ice. Climbing Kilimanjaro does not require any technical skills or special equipment, just some physical fitness, and determination. People from all walks of life, from a 7-year-old child to an 89-year-old woman, have successfully summited. But the challenge should not be taken lightly. You need to understand what lies ahead.
You may climb the Mountain by several routes, which have been established by the Tanzania National Parks Authority to avoid unauthorized hiking and preserve the pristine beauty of the wilderness for generations to come.
