Northern Tanzania
Kilimanjaro
Africa's highest peak rises alone from the plains through five climate zones to a glacier summit.
About this place
At 5,895m, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain on earth. It rises straight from the savanna through rainforest, moorland and alpine desert to a glacier-capped summit — a climb that needs no technical skill, only time, patience and a good guide.
Why go
- Stand on the roof of Africa
