Mount Kilimanjaro National Park

Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects Africa’s highest peak — the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, rising to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Located in northern Tanzania, the park covers the mountain’s rainforest belt, alpine meadows, and the famous snow-capped summit, offering one of the world’s most iconic trekking experiences.

While the park is best known for attracting climbers from around the globe who seek to reach Uhuru Peak, it also offers rich biodiversity. The lower slopes are home to elephants, buffaloes, colobus monkeys, and a variety of bird species. The diverse ecosystems — from lush tropical forests to arid alpine deserts — provide an unforgettable journey through ever-changing landscapes.

Whether attempting a full summit or exploring the scenic lower trails and forests, visitors to Mount Kilimanjaro National Park are treated to a unique blend of adventure, natural beauty, and personal triumph. It stands as a symbol of Tanzania’s spirit and an enduring beacon for explorers worldwide.
