Mount Kilimanjaro holds many honors: tallest volcano in the world, highest free-standing mountain, highest point on the African continent at 19,341 feet. And the best feature is that Mount Kilimanjaro is a broad shield volcano, which requires no technical skills to climb — just excellent conditioning and an excitement for remote, exotic locations. Its famous snow cap is visible from over a hundred miles away, but climate change is quickly shrinking Kilimanjaro’s glaciers.
