The Mount Kilimanjaro Experience

Aaron Ollivier owns and operates a number of companies, including Precision Concrete Cutting and the investment firm UA2. Outside of his business commitments, Aaron Ollivier enjoys outdoor activities and has climbed sizable mountains like Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro National Park. Rising 19,336 feet above sea level, it is not only the tallest mountain in Africa but also the highest freestanding mountain in the world. There are six common routes to Kilimanjaro’s summit and other more complex treks, as well as leisurely nature trails situated lower on the mountain.

When exploring Mount Kilimanjaro, visitors experience a wide variety of landscapes, ranging from lush forest to alpine dessert, and those who reach the summit encounter a winter environment of snow and ice. Conditions on Mount Kilimanjaro are the warmest and clearest from December to February, but visitors can also find drier and cooler conditions from July to September.
