Kilimanjaro Ascent:


At 5896 metres ( nearly four miles) above sea level,
the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest point on earth to which you can walk.
 This is a mountain of contrasts and extremes.
You start from tropical rain forest and finish in arctic conditions,
passing through a landscape formed by ice and fire.
Yet any well-prepared walker with enough determination may be able to reach 'the Roof of Africa'.
The greatest challenge is the huge altitude gain with the attendant risk of altitude sickness.
