Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa, about 16,100 feet from its base and 19,341 feet above sea level. Climbing factoids: 10 years of age is the minimum for the climb. However, exceptions are granted. Montannah Kenney, a 7-year-old girl from Texas, broke the world record as the youngest female to climb Kili in March 2018. Her motivation was the death of her father. Keats Boyd of Los Angeles was seven years old when he summited Kilimanjaro January 2008. The oldest person to reach the summit was Dr. Fred Dislelhorst, age 88, success in 2017. The oldest woman to reach Uhuru Peak was Angela Vorobeva at age 86 years and 267 days. Wheelchair user Bernard Goosen reached the top twice, with minimum assistance. Kyle Maynard, who has no forearms or lower legs, crawled unassisted to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2012.
