One of the best things about Kilimanjaro is that it is accessible to novice climbers because the primary routes up the mountain don’t require any technical experience. If you have done a lot of hiking and backpacking, and have some experience with high altitudes, you should have no problem embarking on an expedition to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Unlike some of the other Seven Summits, Kilimanjaro requires only a very long hike all the way to the top with no need to look out for crevasses or scale a rock wall. Just don’t underestimate the mountain – Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding peak in the world!
