Kilimanjaro's vast slopes host five distinct climate zones. Dense rainforests occupy the first zone of the mountain.

Climbing Kilimanjaro means passing through five climatic zones, including rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert, and arctic. Temperatures range from 30 degrees Celsius to below zero. Every year, 15,000 people attempt to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro and almost half fail. But, the real adventure of climbing Kilimanjaro is in making the journey - regardless of whether or not the summit is reached.

Photographed in the world's largest and most evocative motion picture format, this film takes its viewers to the expansive slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro where they can experience the exceptional climates and landscapes of this mystical mountain.

On the upper edge of the forest, smaller shrub-like trees begin to replace the tall, straight-trunked trees in the second heath zone.
