Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, rising majestically to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Located in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, this iconic peak draws climbers, trekkers, and nature lovers from all over the world. Kilimanjaro is not only a challenging summit — it’s also a journey through five unique climate zones, from tropical rainforest to alpine desert to arctic glacier. Unlike many major mountains, it requires no technical climbing skills, making it one of the most accessible high-altitude treks on Earth. The mountain is part of Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and supports rare flora and fauna, including giant groundsels and colobus monkeys.
