At 5895m, Kilimanjaro is Africa`s highest point & the highest freestanding mountain in the world, yet it is possible to reach its summit, Uhuru Peak, without any technical climbing ability. However, that is not to say that it is an easy undertaking: each year, many people fail in their attempt, often due to poor preparation or insufficient acclimatisation. Those who do make it to `the Roof of Africa` are richly rewarded, enjoying outstanding views, the unique experience of being `on top of the world` &, of course, a tremendous sense of achievement. Alexander Stewart`s guidebook is packed with advice to maximise your chance of reaching Uhuru Peak.

This is followed by a description of the six main ascent routes
- the Marangu, Machame, Umbwe, Lemosho, Shira & Rongai Routes, plus three summit routes, two descent routes & the circuit path which circumnavigates the mountain. As a result of its height & location six hours from Nairobi, trekkers climbing Kilimanjaro move from the lush tropics, through temperate climes, alpine moorland & barren high-alpine desert to the permanently snow-capped, volcanic summit
