Mount Kilimanjaro is free-standing, snow-covered dormant volcano, majestic Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. Located in northeast Tanzania.
Once you have reached the summit, you will be standing 5,895m or 19,340 feet high as Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. By comparison, Everest's highest peak is 8,848m above sea level. It is also commonly known as the roof of Africa, as it towers over East Africa, and the whole continent for that matter.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, with three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. They have been widely researched due to their impressive landscapes that include shrinking glaciers and disappearing ice fields.

Based inside the Kilimanjaro National Park of Tanzania, the snow-capped mountain is truly a sight to behold. The mountain towers over southern Africa with a backdrop that stretches across the horizon and into Tanzania’s neighbouring nations.

The highest point, Uhuru Peak is a challenging, yet rewarding climb with a 97% success rate and over 15 000 summits to date. Climbers choose from seven different routes, each with varying difficulties over six to nine days. Each route encounters varied scenery, from the Afromontane forest to silvery glacial valleys, alpine desert, and even the rugged Kibo caldera and ash pit.

Because it is regarded as the simplest of the seven peaks, Kilimanjaro is a favourite among both seasoned climbers and novice travellers. No technical requirements for climbing the mountain, such as a rope, harness, crampons, or ice axe. As a result, rather than being a mountaineering or climbing peak, it is a hiking or “walk-up” summit.
