Mount Kilimanjaro

Africa's highest summit

Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcanic mountain in Tanzania, the highest peak in Africa at 19,341 feet.

Its snow-capped summit rising above the savanna has made it an iconic image of the continent.

Climbers attempt to summit via various routes of differing difficulty: We're doing the Machame route up Kilimanjaro.
