Considered the roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. The mountain is 19,341 (5,895 m.) feet above sea level. Mt. Kilimanjaro comprises three volcanic cones namely Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, and is a dormant volcanic mountain.
An estimated seventy-five thousand people hike Kilimanjaro every year. However, it is undoubtedly a test of one’s endurance, with altitude sickness the main reason for climbers not to summit. Although it has become a viral challenge and the experience is slightly crowded with other climbers, we still highly recommend it for anyone with even a vague interest in mountaineering.
Mt. Kilimanjaro is surrounded by the Kilimanjaro National Park, whereby the wildlife of the park is important to the whole experience of Kilimanjaro. You could occasionally see herds of elephants, buffaloes, and antelopes. Activities on Kilimanjaro could include hiking the mountain itself to the highest peak (Kibo), which could range from five to seven days depending on the route taken.
