The
snow-covered splendor of the highest mountain in Africa is
visible on a clear day from more than 250 kms away.
Kilimanjaro rises from the vast open plains. First mentioned
by Ptolemeus (a 2nd Century Greek philosopher and
geographer), the largest mountain in Africa and highest free
standing mountain in the world, has proved a magnet to
climbers, naturalists, travelers and explorers over the
centuries. Only three degrees from the equator, the
Victorians believed Kilimanjaro's snow to be a flight of
fancy for many years. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest
mountain in Africa and stands at 5,895 meters, three degrees
south of the equator. The mountain, a dormant volcano, has
two peaks - Kibo and Mawezi, which are surrounded by dense
forests full of dazzling variety of flora and fauna. |
