Kilimanjaro on a GPS compatible map at 1:62,500 from ITMB, showing main trekking and climbing routes, with on the reverse an indexed road map of Northern Tanzania with street plans of Arusha, Dar Es Salam and Zanzibar's Stone Town.

On one side is a map of Kilimanjaro at 1:62,500. Relief is vividly shown by elevation tinting, contours at 100 feet (approx 30m) intervals, plus spot heights given both in feet and metres. The map shows the boundary of the national park and highlights various routes to the summit, as well as huts, camping areas, locations with potable water, etc.

In the surrounding area the map shows all weather paved and dirt roads as well as local tracks, and indicates locations of various facilities. The index lists both villages and physical features. Margin ticks give latitude and longitude (at 10' intervals) plus UTM coordinates. The map is surrounded by notes about the area and various routes to the summit.

On the reverse is part of ITMB's road map of Tanzania at 1: 1,370,000, extending south to include Dar Es Salam and Zanzibar. The region's topography is vividly presented by bold if unconventional altitude colouring in bands of 1000 feet, with peak heights shown both in feet and in metres. Additional graphics indicate wetlands/swamps and coral reef in coastal areas. National parks and game reserves are highlighted.

Road network distinguishes between paved and unpaved roads and includes selected tracks. Railway lines and ferry routes in Lake Tanganyika are included, and local airports are marked. The map also shows the region's internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

Symbols highlight various places of interest, some annotated with brief descriptions. Also indicated are locations with tourist accommodation, medical facilities, fuel supplies, etc.
