Description Suggest change

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

Getting There Suggest change

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 Arusha or Moshi (or Marangu), you can easily find an outfitter that'll get you up the peak.
