Rising above the vast plains of East Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro stands as a solitary giant—Africa’s highest peak and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. Located in northeastern Tanzania, close to the Kenyan border, Kilimanjaro is more than a geographical landmark. It is a spiritual icon, a trekking challenge, and a window into diverse ecosystems. Each year, thousands of adventurers set their sights on its snow-capped summit, driven by the dream of reaching the fabled Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).
