Mount Kilimanjaro the highest peak mountain in Africa continent and single Standing Mountain in the world. It is undoubtedly one of the continent’s most magnificent sights, rising up in splendid isolation from the plains below. Located virtually on the equator, this volcano seems so out of place with its snow-capped peak dwarfing the distant rift valley. It would be wrong to come to Tanzania and not spend some time appreciating this grand old mountain that forms the roof of Africa. You can climb its legendary slopes in the hope of standing atop Uhuru Peak – the highest point on the African continent – or simply gaze and photograph its majesty, as it presides over the plains and parks below with 5,895 meters (19,341feet) above the sea level.
