Kilimanjaro

Description 

A big mountain with both some of the easiet "climbing" in Africa, and, as Rheinhold Messner found out, some of the hardest.

Getting There 

Fly to Kilimanjaro International Airport and catch a taxi to Moshi or Arusha. Since guides are required on Kili, it's best (and basically your only option) to sign up for a guided trip up the peak. Once in Arisha r Moshi (or Marangu), you can easily find an outfitter that'll get you up the peak.
