Africa’s highest mountain and one of the world’s largest volcanoes, Kilimanjaro towers to 5,895 meters above sea level and is often referred to as ‘the roof of Africa. Kilimanjaro is made up of 3 separate cones: snow-capped Kibo (5895m), Mawenzi (5149m) and Shira (4005m), standing in splendid isolation above the surrounding plains, with its snowy peak peeping through a blanket of clouds. The mountain is encircled by a dense forest - home to numerous mammals, many of which are endangered.
