Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is the highest peak in Africa, standing at approximately 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Renowned for its three volcanic cones – Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira – Kilimanjaro is a popular destination for trekkers and climbers from around the globe. Despite its proximity to the equator, its summit is capped with snow and glaciers, offering a unique and stunning contrast to the surrounding savannahs. The mountain is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is home to diverse ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforests at its base to alpine deserts and the arctic summit.
