Uhuru is the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro and it is located at a height of 5,895 meters above the sea level. This mountain has come into existence due to the volcanic eruption. The major eruption occurs on this mountain 360,000 years back and the most recent one occurred 200,000 years back. There are three different volcanic cones located on this mountain and they are named as the Kibo, Shira as well as Mawenzi. The Mawenzi and Shira cones are the extinct ones but the Kibo is still considered as a dormant one and has a chance to erupt again. This is a majestic mountain that you should hike when you are in Tanzania. There used to be glaciers on the mountain but they have disappeared due to the increase in temperature of this earth.
