Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northeastern Tanzania near the Kenya border, is Africa’s highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) and a majestic dormant stratovolcano with three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, with Kibo hosting the iconic snow-capped Uhuru Peak. The mountain features five distinct ecological zones, ranging from tropical rainforest at its base, through heath and moorland, alpine desert, to the arctic summit, supporting diverse flora and fauna. Popular trekking routes such as Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, and Umbwe attract climbers worldwide, offering non-technical but physically demanding challenges and breathtaking views. Beyond its natural beauty, Kilimanjaro holds cultural significance for the local Chagga communities and stands as a symbol of adventure, resilience, and the striking contrast between snow-capped peaks and the surrounding African savannah.
