Parks On Tanzania

Kilimanjaro National Park in this Tanzania gem

Kilimanjaro National Park covering an area of some 75,575 ha protects the largest free standing volcanic mass in the world and the highest mountain in Africa, rising 4877m above surrounding plains to 5895m at its peak. With its snow-capped peak, the Kilimanjaro is a superlative natural phenomenon, standing in isolation above the surrounding plains overlooking the savannah.Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes in the world. It has three main volcanic peaks, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. With its snow-capped peak and glaciers, it is the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain has five main vegetation zones from the lowest to the highest point: Lower slopes, montaneforest, heath and moorland, alpine desert and summit. The whole mountain including the montane forest belt is very rich in species, in particular mammals, many of them endangered species. For this combination of features but mostly its height, its physical form and snow cap and its isolation above the surrounding plains, Mount Kilimanjaro is considered an outstanding example of a superlative natural phenomenon.The climb up Mount Kilimanjaro is an amazing experience even if you are one of the climbers who does not reach the summit because of altitude sickness or possible exhaustion. Amazing views of the surrounding plains await travellers along the way up the mountain.A trek up to the summit allows a traveller to experience almost every type of ecological system in one single adventure. Ecosystems include cultivated land, rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert, and an arctic summit.

Highlights

  • The World Heritage Committee recommended extending the national park to include more areas of montane forest.
  • Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s most accessible high summits, a beacon for visitors from around the world.
  • Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination.
  • And those who reach Uhuru Point, the actual summit, or Gillman’s Point on the lip of the crater, will have earned their climbing certificates.
  • Any visitor who sees Mount Kilimanjaro uncovered from the clouds can’t help but stand in awe.
  • This is a highlight in and of itself, however, making the trek up the mountain is a pinnacle experience for any who undergo the journey up.
