Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, is Africa’s tallest peak and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, rising 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. This iconic volcanic massif comprises three dormant cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, with Kibo hosting the summit, Uhuru Peak. Renowned for its snow-capped summit despite being near the equator, Kilimanjaro offers diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests at its base to alpine deserts and icy glaciers at its peak. It is a popular destination for climbers and adventurers, symbolizing resilience, challenge, and natural wonder.
