Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), is Africa’s highest peak and one of the world’s most iconic mountains. Located in northeastern Tanzania, it is a dormant stratovolcano consisting of three cones—Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira—and draws adventurers from all over the globe. Kilimanjaro’s diverse ecosystems range from tropical rainforests at its base to alpine deserts and glaciers near the summit, creating a unique environment that supports a variety of plant and animal species.

The climb to the summit, though challenging, offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with several routes catering to different levels of experience. Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak is a striking contrast to the surrounding savannah, making it a symbol of Tanzania and an unforgettable destination for trekkers and nature enthusiasts alike.
