Kilimanjaro – To the Roof of Africa is an adventure of the human spirit that follows five trekkers and a local Chagga guide to the top of Kilimanjaro, the largest freestanding mountain in the world. Along their journey of courage and endurance, this diverse group of trekkers encounter strange landscapes and endure harsh conditions as they travel through five climate zones ranging from the lower rainforest reaches of Kilimanjaro to the summit’s arctic glaciers, all the while learning about the formation of the African continent and the Great Rift Valley.

ount Kilimanjaro is, at 19,340 feet above sea level, the highest peak on the continent of Africa. It consists of three peaks, Mawenzi and Shira (extinct volcanoes) and Kibo (dormant). Additionally, Mt Kilimanjaro Tanzania is the highest freestanding mountain (not part of a range) in the world. It lies wholly in Tanzania just on the southern border with Kenya.
