Mt. Kilimanjaro
Overview

Mt. Kilimanjaro

Tanzania

Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, via the classic hut-to-hut Marangu Route — one of the Seven Summits.

Located in northeastern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, Mt. Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 metres — Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, and part of the Seven Summits challenge.

The Marangu Route is the classic approach, with comfortable hut accommodation each night. This adventure is a transformative experience: students build physical and mental strength, learn leadership and teamwork, and stand on the summit of Africa's tallest mountain.
