Paperback. Condición: New. Rising above the plains of northern Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak and one of the world's great bucket-list challenges. Standing at 5895m, this dormant volcano offers a rare opportunity to reach a true high-altitude summit without technical climbing, making it an achievable goal for fit, determined walkers who prepare well, choose the right route, and respect the altitude. The mountain is famed for its striking ecological zones - from lush rainforest and heathland to stark alpine desert and the icy glaciers of Uhuru Peak. Covering all six established ascent routes and the three main summit approaches, this guidebook provides clear, authoritative guidance whether you are choosing the popular Machame or Marangu routes, seeking quieter paths like Rongai and Lemosho, or planning a longer, more gradual itinerary to maximise acclimatisation. It also includes Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest peak, as both a rewarding objective in its own right and an ideal preparation and acclimatisation trek before tackling Kilimanjaro itself. A detailed introductory section covers all practical preparations for your trip to Tanzania, including costs and budgeting, park permits, the role of licensed guides and porters, essential equipment, and responsible travel considerations, with guidance on respecting both the mountain environment and local culturesInsight into the history and significance of Mount Kilimanjaro helps you appreciate the geological, cultural and exploratory stories behind this iconic peak and the true scale of a one-in-a-lifetime journeyIn-depth descriptions of all ascent options clearly outline the character, duration and challenges of each route, enabling you to choose the approach best suited to your time, fitness and trekking experienceComprehensive coverage of acclimatisation strategies includes recommended itineraries and preparatory treks, with dedicated information on climbing Mount Meru as an effective and rewarding way to improve your chances of summit successA carefully curated list of reputable local outfitters and guiding companies gives you confidence when choosing experienced, ethical operators for your Kilimanjaro climb From the first steps through dense rainforest to the final push across the crater rim at dawn, Kilimanjaro delivers a sense of scale and achievement that few journeys on Earth can match. Standing on the Roof of Africa is more than reaching a summit; it is the culmination of careful preparation, steady acclimatisation and an unforgettable passage through wildly contrasting landscapes. With expert guidance, inspiring insight and practical detail throughout, this guidebook helps transform an iconic ambition into a deeply rewarding adventure that will stay with you long after you leave the mountain behind.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. At 5895m, Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest point and 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' and, of course, a tremendous sense of achievement. Alexander Stewart's guidebook is packed with advice to maximise your chance of reaching Uhuru Peak. The first chapter covers preparation and practicalities, offering guidance on how to choose a route and an outfitter, along with extensive information on travel, equipment, health considerations, guides and porters and ethical trekking. The second chapter tells the story of Kilimanjaro and the people, plants and wildlife of the region, presenting a fascinating insight to enrich your trip. This is followed by a description of the six main ascent routes - the Marangu, Machame, Umbwe, Lemosho, Shira and Rongai Routes, plus three summit routes, two descent routes and the circuit path which circumnavigates the mountain. As a result of its height and location six hours from Nairobi, trekkers climbing Kilimanjaro move from the lush tropics, through temperate climes, alpine moorland and barren high-alpine desert to the permanently snow-capped, volcanic summit - and back - in the course of five or six days. The stunning natural beauty of the scenery, the warm and friendly locals and the unique sense of achievement make for a truly unforgettable experience. Guidebook describing all the trekking routes on Kilimanjaro (5895m), one of the Seven Summits. With 6 ascent routes, 3 summit ascents, the Circuit Path and 2 descent paths, the guide also provides comprehensive information on preparation and access, a route on Mt Meru, as well as information on accommodation and other facilities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
