The Kibo is with 5895 m height the highest peak of the Kilimanjaro mountain massif and thus the highest point of Africa. He is one of the Seven Summits and is part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage.

Kilimanjaro means "mountain of the evil spirit". There is a legend among the Swahili that on Kilimanjaro there lives a wicked god who does not tolerate any man on his mountain. Anyone who tried it would stiffen their hands and feet and then fall off.

There are several routes on the Kibo. Technically, the climb is not difficult, the height is the biggest challenge for climbers. If you make your way to the kibo, you should plan for at least five to seven days for the return trip. The ascent is chargeable, in addition, the commission of local carriers is mandatory.
