Other climbs – Is there another mountain I can climb in the area?

Yes, East Africa abounds in wonderful mountains to climb. Aside from Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya (obviously in Kenya) – 5,199m (17,060 ft), and Mount Meru (in Tanzania) – 4,565m (14,977 ft) are the most popular mountains to climb. On both mountains you may see wildlife on the hike. The Mt Meru climb involves staying in huts and spending 3 nights on the mountain. Cape buffalo, giraffe, olive baboon, bushbuck, black and white colobus and blue monkeys are all often seen while climbing Mt Meru, as well as many other species or mammals and birds. Mt Meru is higher than Mt Whitney in the USA, and almost as high as Mt Blanc in France, so you should feel proud when you have climbed to the summit!
