Location

Mount Kilimanjaro National Park

Above the gently rolling hills and plateaus of northern Tanzania rises the snowy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is located near the town of Moshi and is a protected area, carefully regulated for climbers to enjoy without leaving a trace of their presence. The mountain’s ecosystems are as strikingly beautiful as they are varied and diverse. On the lowland slopes, much of the mountain is farmland, with coffee, banana, cassava, and maize crops grown for subsistence and sale.

A few larger coffee farms still exist on the lower slopes, but much of the area outside the national park has been subdivided into small plots. Inside the park, thick lowland forest covers the lower altitudes and breaks into alpine meadows once the air begins to thin. Near the peak, the landscape is harsh and barren; with rocks and ice the predominant features above a breathtaking African view.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa. It stands an impressive 19.341 feet tall over the Tanzanian plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is also the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, meaning it is not part of a mountain range.
