About Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Mount Kilimanjaro () is a large dormant stratovolcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world, at 5,895 m (19,341 ft) above sea level and 4,900 m (16,100 ft) above its plateau base. It is also the highest volcano in the Eastern Hemisphere and the fourth most prominent peak on Earth. Kilimanjaro's southern and eastern slopes served as the home of the Chagga Kingdoms until their abolition in 1963 by Julius Nyerere. The origin and meaning of the name Kilimanjaro is unknown, but may mean "mountain of greatness" or "unclimbable". Although it is described in classical sources, German missionary Johannes Rebmann is credited as the first European to report the mountain's existence, in 1848.

How high is the terrain in the Kilimanjaro model?
The land in this model runs from 1,954 to 5,878 m (3,924 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.
Can I 3D print Kilimanjaro?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 34.4 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:133,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Kilimanjaro model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Kilimanjaro model free?
The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
What is a Kilimanjaro terrain model good for?
People use it as a memento of a climb, a gift for a mountaineer or a ski-trip souvenir.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Kilimanjaro, Tanzania from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on -3.0674, 37.3556. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
