Mountain Mt Kilimanjaro

ID: w317449 View large map

Located in Tanzania :: Tanzania
Category: Land Mark :: Mountain

Kilimanjaro is made up of three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Kibo is the summit of the mountain and the tallest of the three volcanic formations.

Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest peak, but also the world’s tallest free standing mountain. Mount Kilimanjaro was first climbed in 1889 by a German geologist Hans Meyer, an Austrian climber Ludwig Purtscheller and a local guide Yohani Kinyala Lauwo.

Kilimanjaro is very popular with both experienced hikers and first time adventurers because it is considered to be the easiest of the seven summits. Scaling the mountain requires no technical skills or equipment, such as rope, harness, crampons or ice axe. Therefore, it is a hiking or walk up peak, not a mountaineering or climbing peak.
