Attraction Information
Kilimanjaro National Park
Kilimanjaro National Park is the home of Mount Kilimanjaro’s equatorial snow-capped peaks, which form some of the most famous images of Africa. At 5896m (19,340ft), Mount Kilimanjaro, situated in northeast Tanzania, is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world. It is actually an active volcano and possesses the highest walkable summit in the world, Uhuru Peak, one of six glaciers and volcanic peaks at the top. The scenery is varied and visitors climbing to the summit pass through hot savannah, alpine tropics and finally an arctic moonscape and may even spot elephant wandering the higher slopes. A game reserve since 1921, the area was designated a national park in 1973.
