Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and is an extinct volcano. The summit crater is known as Kibo and its highest point Uhuru ( 19,340ft ) is the highest peak in Africa. Kilimanjaro's second cone, Mawenzi (16,893 ft), is the third highest peak in Africa ( Mount Kenya, 17,057 ft is the second highest ). On the ascent of Kilimanjaro the surrounding vegetation changes from scrub-lands, inhabited with African wildlife, through lush forests to alpine tundra before reaching the snowline at about 15,000 feet. | Mount Kilimanjaro ( 5895m, 19340ft ) in Tanzania |
