The "Freedom Peak," is the highest point of Kilimanjaro and Africa.

Uhuru Peak, the "Freedom Peak," is the highest point in Kilimanjaro and Africa, a destination that inspires awe and wonder. Climbers who arrive here have overcome cold, thin air and countless hours of trekking to take in the vast views that span the entire African continent. The name "Uhuru," which means "freedom" in Swahili, carries a deep symbolism. In 1961, the peak became a landmark for Tanzanian independence when Julius Nyerere raised the country's flag as a symbol of a new beginning. Since then, the peak has not only been a physical goal, but also a symbol of the human will and the power to push beyond our limits. Reaching the top, every effort is justified. The moment a climber stands on Uhuru Peak is full of emotion, as the view and sense of conquest make the journey truly unforgettable.
