Mount Kilimanjaro stands 330 kms south of the equator, on the northern boundary of Tanzania. Its location on an open plain close to the Indian Ocean, and its great size and height strongly influence the climate and thus its vegetation, animal life and climbing conditions

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. It composed of three extinct volcanoes: Kibo 5895m (19340ft), Mawenzi 5149m (16896ft) and Shira 3962m (13000ft). It is one of the world highest free standard mountains, its bulk looming 4800m above an undulating plain that averages 1000m above sea level.

On a clearly day, it can be seen from more than 150Kms away. Its peak is permanently snow covered, though only 3 degrees below the equator. Kilimanjaro can be climbed by any physically fit person. No climbing experience is necessary.
