About Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is a stratovolcano with three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. At 5,895 meters, Uhuru Peak on Kibo is the highest point in Africa. The mountain features five distinct climate zones: cultivation, rainforest, heather/moorland, alpine desert, and arctic. Despite being just 3 degrees south of the equator, Kilimanjaro is capped with snow and glaciers, though these are rapidly retreating due to climate change.
