Mount Kilimanjaro National Park is a true description of East African beauty. This park is a home for Africa’s highest point, standing at 5,895 meters (19,340 ft) and also turns out to be the highest freestanding mountain in the whole world. Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as its three dormant volcanic cones “Mawenzi”, “Kibo”, and “Shira” are some of the great attractions that everyone admires. This volcanic massif rises majestically above the surrounding plains, its snowy peak looming over the savannah. The mountain is surrounded by vegetation. The park is home to abundance of mammals such as Cape Buffaloes that are primarily found in highland forests, meadows, and moorland, African bush elephants, grey duikers, tree hyrax, and a variety of rodents. The mountain forest is also home to leopards, blue monkeys, and other animals.
