Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the world’s highest free-standing volcanic peak, soaring to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Located in northeastern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is part of Kilimanjaro National Park and comprises three volcanic cones — Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira — with Uhuru Peak on Kibo being the highest point.

This legendary mountain attracts trekkers, climbers, and adventurers from around the globe, not only for the physical challenge but also for its stunning landscapes. Climbers pass through five distinct ecological zones: tropical rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert, and arctic summit. Despite its height, Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, making it accessible to fit individuals with proper preparation and acclimatization.
