MOUNTAIN KILIMANJARO
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
Mt. Kilimanjaro is situated near the town of Moshi in northern Tanzania, The snow-covered splendor of the highest mountain in Africa is visible on a clear day from more than 250 kilometers away. Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and stands at 5,895 meters, three degrees south of the equator. It is a dormant volcano is comprised of three extinct volcanoes: Kibo 5895 m (19340 ft.), Mawenzi 5149 m (16896 ft.), and Shira 3962 m (13000 ft.) and is surrounded by dense forests full of dazzling variety of flora and fauna.
The various trails first pass through lush rainforests before reaching heather and open moorland where giant lobelia and huge, cactus-like groundsel grow. Above this moorland is the almost lunar landscape of an alpine desert which stretches between the two peaks of Kibo, the flat-topped dome at the centre, and Mawenzi, a group of jagged points and pinnacles on the eastern side. The ascent of Kilimanjaro can be done from six routes: Mweka, Umbwe, Shira, Rongai, Machame, and the Marangu Route which is the easier and the most popular. Depending on which route one wants to use, the climb of Kilimanjaro can take between four nights to six nights on the mountain. The two most popular routes are Marangu and Machame.
Marangu is the only route with huts as accommodations leaving others to accommodate hikers using the mobile tents. Each route in Kilimanjaro has its different challenge but you will be ecstatic once you get to the Roof of Africa which is Uhuru Peak. Expert guides and porters will accompany you on your climb.

MOUNT MERU
Mount Meru is an active stratovolcano located 70 kilometers west of Mount Kilimanjaro in the nation of Tanzania. At a height of 4,566 meters (14,980 ft), it is visible from Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day, It is the tenth highest mountain in Africa. Much of its bulk was lost about 8,000 years ago due to an eastward volcanic blast. Mount Meru is the topographic centerpiece of Arusha National Park. Its fertile slopes rise above the surrounding savanna and support a forest that hosts diverse wildlife, including nearly 400 species of birds, and also monkeys and leopards.
At the summit, one can find a two meter high flag of Tanzania in metal and also a milestone in concrete with "Socialist Peak 4562.13M" written.
A three to four day's hike up the top or even to Little Meru is highly rewarding and a great experience.
