Expert Guides
Hiking Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro stands majestically in Tanzania, East Africa, as the highest mountain in Africa with an impressive elevation of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters). Known as the largest free-standing mountain on Earth, it is one of the Seven Summits, attracting climbers and adventurers from around the globe.
Kilimanjaro National Park
With its snow-capped peak rising over the Savannah, Mount Kilimanjaro is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park. This park is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site but also a rich habitat for diverse flora and fauna, making it a rare natural wonder in the heart of Africa
Kilimanjaro’s Three Volcanic Peaks: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira
Mount Kilimanjaro is made up of three volcanic cones:
- Kibo: The highest peak, where Uhuru Peak sits at 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), offering breathtaking views at the summit.
- Mawenzi: Standing at 16,896 feet (5,149 meters), Mawenzi is a rugged, picturesque peak.
- Shira: At 13,000 feet (3,962 meters), Shira is an ancient cone that contributes to Kilimanjaro’s unique volcanic landscape.
While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo is a dormant volcano and could potentially erupt again. Its last major eruption took place around 360,000 years ago, with minor activity recorded as recently as 200 years ago.
Climate Change Impact: Shrinking Glaciers on Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro’s glaciers are quickly diminishing due to climate change. Currently, the mountain has 2.2 square kilometers (0.85 square miles) of glacial ice, which has shrunk by 82% since 1912 and 33% since 1989. Experts estimate that Kilimanjaro may lose its glaciers entirely within the next 20 years, which could affect local water supplies and agriculture.
