Snow capped and shrouded by clouds, the local Chagga people called it Kilema Kyaro meaning 'that which cannot be conquered' or 'that which makes a journey impossible.' Today, it is the dream of every adventurer to conquer its summit and stand on the roof of Africa.
At the base of this huge dormant volcano is a tropical rainforest, home to elephant, buffalo, antelope and monkeys. Higher up you'll cross moor land with incredible Senecio and Lobilia plants. Beyond this lies the rock and ice zone as you slowly approach the summit.
