At 5895 m in height, Kilimanjaro is the African continent's highest summit. Whether from the air (in a plane) or from the ground when attempting its ascent, it draws the eye irresistibly.

My suggestion

When flying from Dar es Salaam to Arusha, ask for a seat on the right of the plane so that you can admire Kilimanjaro's snow-capped cone. It is wise to take an extra day to get acclimatized when attempting its ascent.
