The Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is certainly one of the symbols of the African continent. It is a volcano made up of three extinct craters: Kibo, the highest one which reaches 5,895 metres, Mawenzi and Shira.
To reach the top you have to cross different environments: the slopes where there are cultivated fields, the forest starting from 1,800 meters with the characteristic senecio trees of Kilimanajro.
From 2,800 to 4,000 meters there is the moorland with splendid expanses of heather, then the mountain desert which reaches up to 5,000 meters and above that the summit, where temperatures have very significant variations between day and night.
Here animals are practically absent. Climbing the Kilimanjaro is one of the activities that attract mountaineers from all over the world. There are several access routes, the main one being Marangu.
