Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania Mount Kilimanjaro is the sleeping giant of all volcanoes. It’s not just the tallest volcano in Africa, it’s Africa’s highest mountain too, and that’s a fact that attracts as many mountain climbers as volcano tourists. Don’t expect to see any volcanic activity at Mount Kilimanjaro, of its three cones two are extinct and the other is dormant and hasn’t woken up or coughed out smoke for over one hundred and fifty thousand years. Why Go? Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most picturesque volcanoes on the planet. Its snow-capped peaks set against the African savannah are a photographers dream, especially when captured with a wildlife subject like elephants or giraffes in-between. If scaling mountains is your thing, this is one climbing challenge you’ll definitely want to undertake. It takes several days to reach the summit and yes, you need a guide, the adequate equipment and to be prepared for altitude sickness. When To Go? If you’re heading to the Kilimanjaro National Park for a safari-style photography adventure the best time to go is in the dry season which is from July to October. Skip the rainy months of March, April and May when cloud coverage can hide the peak from view. If you want to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro and trek up to the summit then June through to October are the months with the mildest climates. Avoid the months of April and November when it rains too much for hiking up the slopes to be comfortable. Last Eruption: Between 150,000 to 200,000 years ago Height: 4,900 meters; 16,000ft Map Location: Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania #info #EverythingsInfo
