Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest peak but also the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. The summit, named Uhuru Point, is 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level and about 4,900 m above its plateau base. Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania.
Mount Meru is a dormant stratovolcano located 70 kilometres west of Kilimanjaro in the southeast Arusha Region, Tanzania. At a height of 4,562.13 metres, it is visible from Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day and is the fifth-highest of the highest mountain peaks in Africa, dependent on definition.
Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano in Tanzania. It consists of a volcanic cone with two craters, the northern of which has erupted during historical time. Uniquely for volcanoes on Earth, it has erupted natrocarbonatite, an unusual, cold and highly fluid type of magma. Recent eruptions in 2007-2008 impacted the surrounding region.
MT. Kilimanjaro Climbing Routes
Kilimanjaro Via Machame Route
The Machame route is commonly referred to as the Whiskey route, a popular and challenging route compared to the perceptively easier Marangu route, known as the “Coca-Cola” route. Trekkers hike through five different climatic zones of Mt Kilimanjaro, climbing up and down a series of valleys and ridges to experience some of the most incredible views on the mountain. Accommodation is in tents.
