For many people the word “Uhuru” reminds them of the best seller written by Robert Ruark; to the Swahili nation it means “Freedom” and to most mountaineers it is the highest peak in Africa standing proudly on Kilimanjaro at 5 895 metres above sea level. In all its magnificence, it is the highest free-standing mountain in the world, situated 330 kilometres south of the equator in Tanzania. |
