Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of Africas most impressive sights. Snowcapped and not yet extinct, it rises 5,895m (19,335ft). A National Park surrounds the mountain and harbours various vegetation types from lush rainforest to alpine meadow.

The airport stands in splendid isolation on the low plains between Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru, equidistant from the towns of Moshi and Arusha.

For those climbing the mountain, Moshi is the nearest town, and Kilimanjaro Airport the usual entry point. An international airport, most visitors coming to the northern Game Parks of Tanzania arrive in Tanzania here. Some arrive on International carriers, while others come in with Airkenya from Nairobi.

Those visitors arriving or leaving on Airkenya will have to clear customs and immigration, before continuing their journey. If you are climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, then this will be your disembarkation point.
