Climbing Kilimanjaro - Summit Mount Kilimanjaro Tours

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain—a free-standing mountain in the world and one of the continent’s most magnificent sights at 5895m. Kilimanjaro has three volcanic peaks: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The name itself, “Kilimanjaro,” is a mystery shrouded in clouds. It might mean the Mountain of Light, the Mountain of Greatness, or the Mountain of Caravan Kilimanjaro, by any name, is a metaphor for the compelling beauty of East Africa. When you see it, you understand why. Not only is it the highest peak in Africa, but it is also the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, rising from the surrounding coastal scrubland from an elevation of around 900 meters to an imperious 5,895 meters (19,336 feet).
