This mountain is reacheable for good excursionists in a normal welth condition, with an adequate equipment and accompanied by a professional guide, differently from what happens with the most part of the mountains in the world which reach those heights.
The Kilimanjaro is formed by two main peaks: the Kibo which is the flat dome in the middle of it and the Mawenzi which is constituted by numerous irregular peaks on the east side.
The Kibo peak turns itself towards inside to form a crater, which is not visible from the base.
Even if Kilimanjaro is three degrees South of the equator Kibo and Mawenzi are both covered by plenty of snow and ice.
The highest part of Kilimanjaro is Uhuru peak.
Slightly lower you can find Gillman's Point which together with Uhuru is the principal target of each excursionist.
On the other hand Mawenzi peaks are to be reached by very experienced excursionists.
