Hightest free standing mountain in the world’ Kilimanjaro consists of three summits: to the west, the shira plateau, to the east mawenzi peak and between the two the snow capped summit of kibo which reaches 5’895 meters.
It’s the roof of Africa.
There are several ways to reach the summit; Marangu route (to the west) is the most popular, Machame (to the west), Shira (to the far west) are most demanding. You’ll be trekking and not mountain climbing.
Best time: whole year round but although April it will be raining.
