Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's iconic snow-capped mountain that towers over the plains of the savannah. Positioned near the Equator, this majestic peak boasts breathtaking views and is a sight to behold. However, the snows that once adorned the summit are quickly disappearing. Kilimanjaro National Park, which extends above 2,700 meters (8,850 ft), protects the mountain and encompasses the moorland and highland zones, including the remarkable Shira Plateau, Kibo, and Mawenzi peaks. Additionally, the park features six corridors that lead through the Kilimanjaro Forest Reserve, an area that has been a Game Reserve since 1921. Established in 1973 and opened officially in 1977, Kilimanjaro National Park offers an unforgettable adventure for those seeking to conquer its magnificent heights and witness its awe-inspiring natural wonders.
