MENU Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Mount Kilimanjaro, as described by Ernest Hemingway “as wide as all the world, great, high and unbelievably white in the sun, was the square top of Kilimanjaro”. The Kilimanjaro is one of the most impressive sights in Africa, visible from as far away as Tsavo and Amboseli National parks in Kenya.
Rising over 16,000ft from the surrounding plains to a peak of 19,340ft, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain.
More Info about Mount Kilimanjaro:
At the summit of Kilimanjaro, you will be welcomed by a sign posted by the Tanzanian government. The sign (printed in English only) reads "Congratulations! You are now at Uhuru Peak, Tanzania, 5,895 m. The summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is covered by a GSM mobile phone network, provided by Vodacom, making it the highest point in Africa with mobile phone service. Mount Everest’s summit is the highest point in the world.
Origination of the name Kilimanjaro:
It is unknown where the name Kilimanjaro comes from, but a number of theories exist.
Its believed that Kilimanjaro breaks up into Kilima (Swahili for "hill- a little mountain") and Njaro, whose supposed origin varies according to the theory—for some it's an ancient Swahili word for white or for shining, while for others it has non-Swahili origin, e.g. Kichagga word jaro meaning caravan. The problem with all these theories is that they can't explain why the diminutive kilima is used instead of the proper word for mountain, mlima.
Weather on Kilimanjaro:
Northern Tanzania, where the Mount Kilimanjaro is located, receives long rains in April and May and short rains in November.
This means the best months to do the trek will not have to be the above moths nor couple of weeks before/after those months.
