Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and one of the continent’s most magnificent sights. From cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, brimming with maize and millet, the mountain rises through lush rainforest, the boughs of trees clothed in abundant epiphytic lichen, orchids and moss, through alpine meadows dotted with clumps of yellow and purple flowers, through a barren lunar landscape of dust, dust and rock to the peak of Uhuru.
The geological origin of ‘Kili’, as known by the locals, is part of the Rift Valley dating back about one and a half million years ago. It is the tallest stand alone mountain in the world. The origin of the name in Kiswahili the word ‘Kilima’ means small hill while ‘Najaro’ means greatness.
