Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at 5,895 meters, is famous not only for its height but also for the unique ice cap that crowns its summit. These glaciers, thousands of years old, sit above vast ecosystems ranging from rainforests to alpine deserts. Climbers often describe the surreal moment when they reach the “Roof of Africa,” standing above the clouds with the ancient glaciers glowing in the sunrise.
Kilimanjaro teaches us that reaching new heights requires patience, strength, and belief in yourself.
