One of the best destinations for adventure travel is what Africa is known for. And what can be more adventurous than trekking up the world’s tallest free standing mountain and Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro stands at 19,340 feet or 5896m and it will usually take you a staggering 6 days to trek. The exciting thing about this mountain is that climbing might look so easy to do but when your there starting the journey, it is only those who are fit and determined can really make it to the top. Although no special climbing equipment or expertise is needed, almost 75 attempts to the top fail because people think its easy to do the climbing with just shorts, t-shirt and a couple of beers in hand. So for the adventurous spirit, visit Kilimanjaro.
