Back to the list of natural wonders in Civ5
Mt. Kilimanjaro is a natural wonder in Civilization V: Brave New World. It spawns in Grassland, Plains, and Mountain tiles.
Strategy[]
Like the Fountain of Youth, Mt. Kilimanjaro offers a benefit to all military units that move adjacent to it: a promotion that allows double Movement speed through Hills and a combat bonus on Hills for the rest of the game! When a Scout receives this promotion it will move faster on Hills than on regular tiles. Workers and Great Generals cannot get this promotion, since they aren't classified as military units.
Mt. Kilimanjaro counts as a Mountain for the purpose of building Observatories.
Civilopedia entry[]
Composed of three volcanic cones, the highest reaching 19,340 feet - making it the highest point in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world - the Kilimanjaro massif lies in northeastern Tanzania. Considered a strato-volcano, two of its peaks (Mawenzi and Shira) are extinct, while its highest (Kibo) is dormant; its last eruption dates back approximately 150 thousand years. According to Johann Krapf in 1860 the mountain was called "Kilimanjaro" by the Swahilis along the coast, meaning either "mountain of greatness" or "mountain of caravans."
