At 5,895 meters above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain. That it is a stand-alone mountain and not part of a range, gives Kilimanjaro a prominent place on the horizon. The snow caps are iconic and have lent inspiration to the likes of Hemingway and more. The most common images of Kili are from Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Bordering on the mountain, it dominates the view and serves as the backdrop for stunning photographs.
