Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
The highest point in Africa at 5,895m and the tallest free-standing mountain on earth — a walkable summit that needs no technical climbing, only time, patience and respect for the altitude. The Machame and Lemosho routes give the best acclimatisation and the best scenery, climbing through rainforest, moorland and alpine desert to the Roof of Africa. Summit night starts around midnight and finishes on the crater rim at sunrise.

Lemosho route, eight days, summited with the whole group. The extra acclimatisation days are what make the difference.
Summit night is genuinely brutal and genuinely worth it. Sunrise from Uhuru is something I will carry for good.
Take the longest route you can afford. The people who rush it are the people who turn back.
