Mount Kilimanjaro Hiking Safaris
Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest mountain. It stands at an elevation of 5,895 meters above sea level. The mountain is located in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border.
Mount Kilimanjaro is among the few snow-capped mountains in the region. It has several glaciers that are unfortunately receding because of climate change. It is however an incredible mountain to hike because of its diverse ecosystem and vegetation zones.
The mountain zones start with a montane forest at the lower slopes covering about 1,000 square kilometers. This is home to several wildlife species including pushbacks, duikers, forest elephants, and buffaloes. From the montane forests, the vegetation transitions into heath and eventually the glaciers that cover the top mountain zones.
Mount Kilimanjaro hiking takes 5 to 9 days depending on one’s physical fitness. It is ideal for individuals between 15 to 50 years with great hiking experiences. The mountain hike is done exclusively and highly recommended among the best Tanzania wildlife safaris you should be part of.
Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safaris
Serengeti is the most famous national park in Tanzania. It is located in the northern part and is renowned for its wildebeest migration safari.
