Description:
Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano and one of the largest volcanoes and largest isolated mountains in the world. It is the highest mountain in Africa, rising 4877 m above the surrounding savanna plains to 5895 m, and its base covers an area of about 388,500 ha. It stands alone but is the largest in the east-west belt of volcanoes in northern Tanzania. It has three main volcanic peaks of different ages lying on an east-southeast axis and a series of smaller parasitic cones. Kibo (5895 m), the youngest peak, was last active in the Pleistocene and still has minor fumaroles.
