Whether you want to climb it, or simply gaze in awe at this extraordinary, snow-capped equatorial mountain, witnessing the grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the greatest experiences of African travel. Owing to its great natural beauty, Kilimanjaro National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro is undoubtedly the highlight of most visitors’ experiences in Tanzania, but there is so much more to this magnificent park than the summit of its mountain. Here, the cultivated footslopes give way to lush montane forest inhabited by elephant, the elusive leopard, and the endangered Abbott's Duiker, along with other small antelope and primates.

Go Green With Let’s Go Travel
Mt. Kilimanjaro is a world heritage site and proper management of its ecosystem is crucial because it’s a habitat for endangered and rare species. There are a number of lodges that are at the forefront of such protection efforts, taking initiatives including investing part of their revenues into conservation and contributing a portion of bed-night fees to the local surrounding communities, incentives for them to protect the very important wildlife and vegetation tourists come to see.
