Things You (Probably) Don’t Know About Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is truly astounding, and an important part of our planet’s natural landscape. Located in Tanzania, it is Africa’s tallest mountain, measuring at about 5,895 metres tall. Because it is the tallest mountain in Africa, it earns its place as the fourth tallest of the world’s seven summits, a group made of the tallest mountains on each continent. Although fourth tallest in this group, it is actually the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, as it is not part of a mountain range. However, don’t let all these impressive statistics intimidate you; Kilimanjaro is considered the easiest of the seven summits to climb as it requires no equipment or technical skills.
