| Kilimanjaro, the highest
point Africa touches the sky and also one of the highest mountains
in the world accessible to climbers. The mountain is located
in the tropic region, South of Equator and East of Greenwich
Meridian; surprisingly snow capped. It is classified as volcanic
mountain, having a Crater at the top.
Its has three peaks namely Shira, Kibo
and Mawenzi. |

In climbing, the terrain passes from a tropical to an artic
clime in just a few days. The encircling rain forest ensures
the fertility of the lower lying shambas and is rich in birdlife.
Above the rain forest lies the Alpine Meadow, a beautiful moorland,
offering many splendid views. Exotic plants such as the giant
Lobelia and the fork-like Groundsel are to be seen.
The latter blooming once every 50 – 70 years. Leaving
the Alpine Meadow we reach the Alpine Desert and eventually
the ‘’snows of Kilimanjaro’’.
