Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called by the Masai "Ngaje Ngai," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.

It's one of the mysteries of Kilimanjaro, that animals will wander to the upper slopes and die. There is no food up there and the weather is very harsh.

Yeah, Kilimanjaro is a place with amazing and attractive beauty and it is covered with snow as well. It is like icing on the cake for mountain Kilimanjaro beauty. It is adding the excitement and adventure for the mountaineers as well. The most important thing to be climb is to have a proper training because sometimes it becomes very much dangerous as well.
