Highlight of my trip to Tanzania is seeing Mt Kilimanjaro. After seeing mt Everest (Asia) and mt denali (USA), two of the seven summits, I was tempted to see the highest mountain in Africa, mt kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, with its three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, is a dormant volcanic mountain in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level (the Uhuru Peak/Kibo Peak).

I couldn’t see the peak in the first two days due to cloudy sky
