Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is Africa's highest peak and a popular destination for climbers. Reaching the summit requires no technical climbing skills, making it accessible to trekkers with good physical fitness. Guided tours are mandatory for climbing the mountain and generally last between five to nine days. The dry seasons (January-March and June-October) are considered the best times to climb, avoiding the heavy rains. The cost of a climb can range from $2,000 to $6,000 per person, depending on the route, duration, and level of service. Accessibility on the mountain is limited and requires a high level of physical fitness. While solo trekking is prohibited, the experience is very rewarding and achievable with the support of local guides and porters.
