Kilimanjaro National Park is located near Moshi, Tanzania and is approximately 1,665 sq. km (643 sq mi). It is centered on Mount Kilimanjaro, and covers an area of 753 km�. In the 1910s, Mount Kilimanjaro and its forests was declared a game reserve by the German colonial government. Mt. Kilimanjaro, standing at 5,895 metres (19,340 ft), can be climbed all year round although the best months are January to March, July through to October. During the rainy season, visibility is poor and climbing conditions difficult. You have to be in good physical condition to attempt a climb on this mountain. At Natural World Tours & Safaris, we organize safaris to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and over the years, have acquired formidable experience in climbing safaris. |
