The climate at the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro would be very different because of the change in latitude. Kenya is in the tropic and Canada is close to the Artic cirle. Which has a big difference in climate.

Mount Kilimanjaro has a diverse climate that varies with altitude. While the lower slopes experience a warm and humid climate, temperatures decrease significantly at higher elevations, leading to a cooler climate, particularly in the alpine zone. The summit can be quite cold year-round, often with snow and ice. Thus, while cooler than many regions, the mountain does not have a uniformly cool climate throughout.
Yes, Mount Kilimanjaro does have snow and ice on its summit despite being close to the equator. However, the glaciers on the mountain have been shrinking in recent years due to climate change.
Kilimanjaro but the snow cap is/will be gone soon due to climate change.
Mount Kilimanjaro is situated on the Equator, so in a tropical climate and that is also the climate at ground level. But everywhere on Earth, temperatures drop when you go higher. That's why airplane pilots always tell you during the flight that it is minus 50 degrees outside. And it is because of its height that mount Kilimanjaro gradually gets colder when you climb up, and why at summit level, it is covered with snow.
up high there is little snow but it is cold, lower down the mountain there is wild life and groth.
Kilimanjaro means shining mountain in Swahili.
