Take a tour of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. It's the tallest and most famous African mountain, and the highest freestanding mountain worldwide. Majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro rises high above the African plain to the dizzying height of 19,332 feet. The mountain has three different volcanic cones, Mawenzi, Shira, and Kibo. For most people, the lower slopes and surrounding countryside are beauty enough. However, many climb the summit, which requires little technical skill, though it is a long and difficult climb. Those who make it will be rewarded with an unparalleled view of the crater and Tanzania.
