Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro
is often referred to as a long hike or trek that comes in Kilimanjaro trekking packages.
It is not technical requiring any special training or equipment and is thus it
is a very special trek. Climbing Kilimanjaro the aim is to climb to Uhuru Peak
at 5895 Meter the highest point on the crater rim of the dormant volcano, Kibo,
as well as the highest point on the African continent.
Kilimanjaro
is the seven summits climb in Africa. The seven summits are the highest Peaks
each of the seven continents. Climbing to the Summit of all them is a serious
mountaineering challenge and was only accomplished in 1985.
Climbing
the dormant volcano with its three cones takes you through five distinct climate zones due to the climate
being influenced by the height of the mountain; there is a dramatic
transformation in vegetation growing with the change in Climate Zone which is
awesome to witness.
The trek starts off in Bushland up to 1800m above sea level taking you through farmlands and forest. The next 1000m elevation gain you walk through a rainforest the zone that is really a beautiful jungle up to 2800m above sea-level, from 1200m
up to 4000m above sea level is a stark contrast walking over sparsely vegetated
moorland, ascending another 1000m from 4000m to 5000m you hike through the alpine
desert zone. If you are looking for the best guide to enjoy the pleasing
