Places worth visiting
Essential · Mountain
Mount Kilimanjaro
Uhuru Peak reaches 5,895 metres on Kibo. The mountain is in Tanzania, although it is visible from Kenya.
Sixteen learning locations connect the Great Lakes, northern highlands, Swahili coast and Zanzibar. Large parks use representative pins rather than entrances; these points are not a travel itinerary. Essential is our shortlist for a first trip, and worth a detour goes further. Select a pin to read about a place, then play the map and find them all.
