Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (19,340 feet)
Kili, as the industry calls it, is one of the world’s most famous non-technical climbs. Every climber wants to tick this one off the bucket list. It’s the tallest mountain on the African continent, and while no rock climbing skills are needed, it’s one of the toughest summits on the map.
The experience lasts around one week of hiking, depending on which route you take. The trek traverses through a range of different landscapes and climates – from rainforests to glacial valleys to alpine deserts. If you have the mental grit and leg power to get to the top, you’ll be rewarded with views across the African plains.
