Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's Highest Summit
These mountains are extinct volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the agglomeration of three distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft) and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft). Kilimanjaro's violent creation is geologically associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley, 100km to the West.
