Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest peak. On a Mount Kilimanjaro day tour, you can choose to go to the mountain’s lower slopes for a shorter hike or to the base.

While it is uncommon to take a day trip to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro because it is a difficult multi-day journey, there are shorter day treks accessible on the mountain’s lower slopes that provide stunning vistas and a taste of the Kilimanjaro experience.
