Mount Kilimanjaro - Tanzania's Crown Jewel
1️⃣ General Overview
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, standing at:

✅ 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level

✅ Located in northern Tanzania, near the border with Kenya, Kilimanjaro is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

✅ It is a dormant stratovolcano made of three volcanic cones:

Kibo (the highest, with Uhuru Peak at the summit)

Mawenzi

Shira

2️⃣ Geological Formation
Formed approximately 3 million years ago through volcanic activity along the East African Rift system.

Kibo, the central peak, is dormant but not extinct; the last major eruption occurred about 360,000 years ago.

Mawenzi and Shira are extinct volcanic cones.

Kilimanjaro's summit features glaciers and snowfields, though they have been retreating significantly due to climate change.

Kilimanjaro has distinct climatic and ecological zones from base to summit:
