"MOUNT KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA
Africa’s highest peak and the highest ‘stand-alone’ mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro is an almost perfectly shaped volcano rising majestically from Tanzania's far north-eastern plains. Rising 5 895 metres (19 342 feet) above sea level, Mt Kilimanjaro is undoubtedly one of Africa’s most magnificent sights."
