It is a particularly beautiful summit, tinged by African culture and memories of out childhood with the film of the Lion King.
Here are 5 good reasons to go to Africa and conquer the Kilimandjaro:
1 - Kilimandjaro with family
Kilimandjaro is a little difficult summit. It doesn't require any technical skill. You only need your feet. Indeed, before the last camp, the climb is more like a trekking. In addition, the effects of altitude are lower and mountain sickness is rare. That's why you can easily do this expedition with your family. What a great trip to your children in the land of the Lion King! Yes, you will often hear "rafiki", which means "friend" and you will have the opportunity to say "hakuna matata" when your guide will ask you how you feel: "no problem!".
2 - Heterogeneous landscapes
Troughout the ascent of Kilimandjaro, you will see beautiful landscapes, all very different from each other. The Mashame road, for example, begins with a lush forest populated with monkeys. You can also admire lunar landscapes in the mountain, with rocks and cactus trees. The summit, snowy, will give you the impression of having left Africa. In short, wherever you are on Kilimandjaro, you will take full view!
3 - An typical and exotic culture
Beyond a sports trip, you will be immersed in a country whose culture is very strong and very different from Western countries. You will appreciate bright colors of the country, be it in the landscapes, the fauna and the flora, the dress fashion, markets with exotic fruits, but especially the meeting with the tribes and the visit of huts. We recommend their local specialities: banana beer and goat sausage with banana, a delight. You will be surprised by the atmosphere of the city of Moshi, everyone has a smile!
4 - Don't go to Africa without a safari!
In Tanzania, near the Kilimandjaro area, two parks stand out in particular. The first, the Serengeti Park, famous for its large herds of elephants and the proximity we can have with animals. Be careful however too close, we saw children being stolen their lunch by monkeys!
Second, there is also the mythical crater of N'Gorongoro, which plunges us into an amazing nature with its rhinoceros and hippos.
5 - Sunsets from Karanga Camp
We could put it in the landscapes, but sunsets from Karanga Camp are so fabulous that it deserved its own place in this top. Imagine, on one side the snowy peak of Kilimandjaro; on the other a pink, purple, orange, blue and green sky; and a sea of cloud that extends as far as eye can see with the only point of reference the Mount Meru. Majestic.
In a few days, we will give you 5 tips to go to Kilimandjaro, stay tuned!
