Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. Its summit, Uhuru Peak on the Kibo cone, reaches 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level.
Kilimanjaro is a dormant stratovolcano with three cones: Kibo (highest, with the summit crater and Furtwängler Glacier), Mawenzi (5,149 m, jagged, technical climb), and Shira (4,005 m, collapsed caldera).
Despite its height, Kilimanjaro is a non-technical "walk-up" via several routes (Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, Northern Circuit), making it accessible to fit trekkers with proper acclimatization. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourism draw for Tanzania.
