Mount Kilimanjaro towers above the African
plains, its peak seeming to pierce the clouds like a giant spear. Formed
over 500 000 years ago, this enormous Strata volcano has been nicknamed The
Mountain of Greatness by the local tribes that live within its vicinity. Not
surprising when you consider the fact that, at 19 340 feet, it is the
tallest mass on the African continent and one of the most notable free
standing mountains in the world.
Situated in North Eastern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro lies a mere 3 degrees south
of the equator on the border between Tanzania and Kenya. The majority of
routes leading to the summit begin in Tanzania, although it is also possible
to access certain trails such as Rongai from the Kenyan side of the border.
Either prior to or following their climbing experience, most tourists opt to
further explore the hills and valleys of Tanzania. Rich in cultural
heritage, the cities and towns of this diverse country present an
enlightening view of African society, while the grassy plains are teeming
with animal and bird life. Just off the coast, Zanzibar is an interesting
and exotic blend of Africa and Asia and is the ideal holiday destination for
both historians and marine enthusiasts alike.
The majority of travellers elect to begin their Tanzanian adventure in
Kenya, due to the fact that Flights into Nairobi are both more frequent and
cheaper than flights into Kilimanjaro Airport. For those heading straight
for Kili it is then simply a case of transferring to Tanzania via a shuttle,
which is usually provided for by the tour company concerned. Most trails up
the mountain commence from one of the smaller towns in Tanzania, such as
Arusha, Moshi or Marangu.
Kilimanjaro rises above the plains of the Serengeti like a great warrior;
it's ancient face gazing down on the villages and fields below. Each year it
seems to summon more and more hopeful summiteers to its foot. Conceivably,
it has to do with testing the boundaries of one's own tenacity, or maybe it
is the result of mother earth appealing to man's innate desire to return to
nature itself. Indeed, the valley below Kilimanjaro is believed by many to
be the birthplace of mankind. Perhaps for some, it is merely a case of going
home.
