The mountains here stand as solitary peaks above surrounding plains; the most attractive is Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, rising to 5895m: it is the highest mountain in Africa, the world's highest free-standing mountain and the world's highest volcano!

The guide includes:
  • A selection of routes for the trekker to approach Kilimanjaro
  • Advice about trekking in East Africa
  • Route details outlining each day's hike
  • Full colour sketch maps to the routes to aid planning
  • Full colour photographs of the region.
