Mt.Kilimanjaro
Climb
This
is Africa's highest mountain and the most awesome sight.
Snowcapped and not yet extinct, at (5895m / 91340ft), it
is surrounded by rain forest and is home to many animals
such as Elephants, Buffaloes, Rhinos, Leopards, and Monkeys.
Monkeys and Elands are the only animals that can be seen
at the
s ummits of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks. The snow-capped peak,
the dream of scaling the summit, watching dawn break and
gazing out over the vast African wildlife, plains and bushland
is an experience not to be missed. Kilimanjaro can be trekked
at any time of the year, however, there is usually a lot
of rain during April, May and November which makes trekking
even more challenging.
