LEMOSHO

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northern Tanzania near the border with Kenya, stands as Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters (19.341 feet). This dormant volcanic mountain features three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Renowned as the "Roof of Africa," there are five distinct ecological zones: cultivation, forest, heath, alpine desert, and arctic summit offering diverse landscapes and unique wildlife. Conservation efforts are managed by Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987
