Welcome to the tallest mountain in Africa, and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount KIlimanjaro!!! With records like that, who wouldn’t want to travel to Tanzania?
The mountain’s name is a pairing of local languages, “Kilima” meaning “mountain” in Swahili, and the Chagga word “Njaro” meaning whiteness. Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, so there is a small chance of activity. Visitors should feel safe visiting the mountain since the last eruption was over 360,000 years ago, and the most recent activity was 200,000 years ago.
Many adventurous hikers have attempted the climb, half of who fail because they take short cuts up the mountain and experience the effects of atmospheric pressure too quickly. Don’t be discouraged. There are successful climbers from age 6 to 96 who have made it to the top. Climbers who take the longer, slower path up the mountain go on a similar adventure as walking from the equator to the Antarctic! Hikers will pass through bushland, rainforest, moorland, and alpine desert before reaching the arctic zone. The climb up and down the mountain may only take five days, but the memories will last for a lifetime.
