Kilimanjaro National Park (Moshi, Tanzania)

It covers an area of 753 km² and was established as a National Park in 1973. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, with its 5895 metres, and is one of the world’s most accessible mountains. Most climbers reach the crater rim with just a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. The ascent of the slopes is also a virtual climatic world tour, from the tropics to the Arctic. The footslopes are inhabited by elephant, leopard, buffalo, and other small antelope and primates. Higher still lies the moorland zone and above 4,000m there is a surreal alpine desert with mosses and lichen. The best period to visit the park are from December to February, when there are the clearest and warmest conditions, and from July to September when it is dry and colder. The Marangu Route is the easiest and shortest route to the summit used by the majority of the Kilimanjaro climbers. This is also the only route with the ‘comforts’ of sleeping huts at every camp site with solar lights and comfortable beds. The park was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.
