Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Located in Tanzania, it is a free-standing volcanic mountain with three main peaks: Uhuru Peak (the highest), Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Kilimanjaro is a popular trekking destination, attracting climbers from around the world due to its varied ecosystems, which range from rainforests at the base to alpine deserts and glaciers at the summit. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its unique flora and fauna. The mountain is a dormant volcano and its glaciers are rapidly retreating due to climate change.
