Kilimanjaro: A Complete Trekker's Guide by Alex Stewart

Famous for its wildlife safaris and coastal resorts, East Africa is also an extraordinary destination for lovers of mountains, trekking and hiking. 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! This guide offers routes up to Kilimanjaro (5895m), with supporting advice on how to prepare for such an expedition, how to make the most of your time there and how to ensure your trip has as little impact on the local environment as possible. 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; and full colour photographs of the region.

'The Cicerone guide is probably the most comprehensive on the market, featuring detailed historical, geographical and natural history information as well as all of the essential information on each of the ascent routesRevised and reprinted in 2006 it is also bang-up-to-date' (Adventure Travel Magazine - September/October 2006)

Alexander Stewart is the Senior Buyer for Stanfords, the map and travel specialist. He has passion for Africa and its mountains. Kilimanjaro made a significant impression on him during his first ascent in 1999, and he has often been drawn back.
