Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania and its 5895 metres height makes it the tallest mountain in Afica, the highest point being Uhuru Peak.

There is general consensus that people have dwelled at and on the mountain since pretty much the dawn of time but today Kilimanjaro is part of a national park.

Kilimanjaro is popular among mountaineers even today and it was first conquered in 1889.  

Keynote speakers dealing with Kilimanjaro might choose to focus on the history of the mountain relating to Tanzania as well as the Africa continent.
