This Mount Kilimanjaro webcam gives some awesome views of the highest mountain in Africa, standing at 19,341 feet above sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro is a volcanic mountain that started life some one million years ago, although there has been no activity in the past two hundred years. Despite this, volcanic gases still emanate from one of its three volcanic cones, Kibo, a cone that measures some 1.5 miles across!

Whilst Mount Kilimanjaro is a million years old, it only first became known to Europeans in 1848 when a German missionary recorded its presence in his journal, and in the following years many expeditions were undertaken.

Today Mount Kilimanjaro is a favourite walking destination, not least by people attempting to raise money for charity.
