About Mount Kilimanjaro

Also called the Roof of Africa or the Crown of Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is both Africa’s highest mountain and the world’s tallest free-standing peak. Standing at 5,895 metres above sea level, Kilimanjaro is unique as it is located just 330km from the equator.

Mount Kilimanjaro consists of three volcanic summits. Shira (3,962 m), the oldest of the three summits, is already extinct. Mawenzi (5,149 m) and the youngest Kibo (5,895 m) are dormant and could erupt again.
