KILIMANJARO The King of the African mountains, it is the proud symbol of the continent - a giant volcano ranking among the highest in the world. The esteemed award of the Order of Kilimanjaro is an African ritual of commendation and recognition of the exceptional contribution of a chosen individual toward the advancement of the human race. The Order of Kilimanjaro is the highest honor to be bestowed on anyone by indigenous Africans resident in the United States of America. The presentation of the Order of Kilimanjaro shall showcase the rich traditions and culture of the African Diaspora. An investiture with the Order of Kilimanjaro is comparable with the coronation of a Chieftain in certain parts of the continent of Africa.
