Mt. Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, towers above the Tanzanian plains with its iconic snow-capped summit reaching 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) high. This dormant volcano comprises three main cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Its location near the equator allows climbers to traverse diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts and glaciated peaks. Kilimanjaro holds cultural significance for the local Chagga people and attracts adventurers from around the globe seeking both the challenge of reaching its summit and the stunning panoramic views it offers of the African landscape.
