Kilimanjaro 3 volcano peaks, 
Kibo peak, the highest peak [5,895m] is covered with snow throughout the year. To many climbers, conquering this peak is an adventure of their lifetime. Uhuru, the highest point on Kibo peak is the highest point in the world that can be reached without any technical or life-supporting facilities. Its location near the equator and permanent snow cover throughout the year is a wonder to many climbers.

Mawenzi peak [5149m] is rugged. The top of its Western face is fairly steep with many crags, pinnacles and dike swarms. The terrain of the Mawenzi peak makes it reachable by technical roped ascents. Rongai route offers the best panoramic view of Mawenzi peak at saddle hut.

Shira peak [3,872m] after collapsing, formed a plateau of outstanding scenic beauty on the mountain. Before collapsing, Shira was the highest of the three peaks. This plateau has an open grassland heath and moorland with a large concentration of endemic Giant Senecio and Lobelias along its drainage. Several kinds of migratory large mammals such as buffaloes, elephants and especially elands often use this plateau for feeding or salt licking. Shira peak is best seen when climbers choose Machame, Lemosho and Northern circuit routes for climbing up Kilimanjaro. Several Kilimanjaro expeditions are available for booking, check them here.
