Kilimanjaro National Park

Welcome to Kilimanjaro National Park, where one can even come across elephants, between the Namwai and Tarakia rivers.

<3 class="title">Kilimanjaro National Park

5,895 meters Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa. This massive volcano stands in splendid isolation above the surrounding plains, with its (fast-melting) snowy peak looming over the savannah. The mountain is encircled by mountain forest. Numerous mammals, many of them endangered species, live in the Park. The whole mountain including the montane forest belt is very rich in species, in particular mammals, many of them endangered species. For this combination of features but mostly its height, its physical form and snow cap and its isolation above the surrounding plains, Mount Kilimanjaro is considered an outstanding example of a superlative natural phenomenon.

Kilimanjaro national park is endowed with a diverse variety of attractions ranging from terrestrial wilderness to permanent glaciers on the mountain peaks. Vegetation types vary from low to high altitude: montane forest, moorland, upland moor, alpine bogs and alpine desert. Perfect weather throughout the year attracts some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife – herds of wildebeest stampeding across the plains, families of elephants flocking to steaming watering holes, and flocks of rare birds gliding through the air.
