Mount Kilimanjaro National Park – Tanzania – Best Tourist Guide
Crowned by the Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro National Park is one of Tanzania’s Popular parks. In 1987, UNESCO declared Kilimanjaro a World Heritage Site due to its uniqueness.
The Kilimanjaro Mountain is located in Northern Tanzania right to the border with the Kenyan Republic in Eastern Africa. Rising abruptly from the open plains, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, it is one of the African classic images. Kilimanjaro is a dormant but not extinct volcano.
Apart from a mountain, the park offers other attractions and there are some rare and endemic species of flora and fauna. 2,500 species of plants and 140 mammal species have been recorded. A major tourist activity in the Park is mountain climbing in which tourists climb the mountain by using the routes available.
Any reasonably fit person can conquer Kilimanjaro. Total climb normally takes five to six days and involves four or five overnight stays in comfortable mountain huts. There are several routes including Marangu, the easiest to climb and therefore the most popular, Machame, Shira, Umbwe, and Rongai are other routes.
At 5896 m Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain and one of the continent’s magnificent sights, has three main volcanic peaks, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The name itself “Kilimanjaro” is a mystery wreathed in clouds. It might mean Mountain of Light, Mountain of Greatness, or Mountain of Caravans.
Above the gently rolling hills and plateaux of northern Tanzania rises the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, its slopes and glaciers shimmering above the rising clouds. Kilimanjaro is located near the town of Moshi and is a protected area, carefully regulated for climbers to enjoy without leaving a trace of their presence. The mountain’s ecosystems are as strikingly beautiful as they are varied and diverse.
Why Go on safari in Mount Kilimanjaro National Park
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highlight of most visitors’ experiences in Tanzania. Few mountains can claim the grandeur, the breathtaking views of Amboseli National Park in Kenya, the Rift Valley, and the Maasai Steppe, that belongs to Kilimanjaro.
Hiking on the ‘rooftop of Africa’ — the highest point on the continent at 5896 meters — is the adventure of a lifetime, especially because, if paced well, everyone from seasoned trekkers to first-time enthusiasts can scale the snowy peak.
