Stories about Mount Kilimanjaro often focus on its height and location. The mountain—the tallest in Africa—is capped with snow and ice, despite sitting at a tropical latitude close to the equator. This volcanic mountain in Tanzania also has been in the news lately because that snowcap is shrinking, and scientists have gone to great lengths to understand why.

Viewed from a wide, top-down view, Kilimanjaro becomes compelling for a different reason: To get to the icy summit, you must pass through incredibly diverse vegetation zones. Those zones are visible in this natural-color image, acquired on January 20, 2017, by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite. The mountain rises 5200 meters (17,000 feet) from the hot, dry savanna, through rainforest and hardy scrublands, to a rocky and icy summit at 5895 meters (19,340 feet) above sea level.

People have cultivated the lowlands ringing the mountain, which appear as patchy green areas in the bottom-left corner of this image. There is little natural vegetation on the foothills. Instead, people have taken advantage of the volcano’s rich soil to grow maize and beans, and to establish home gardens and coffee farms.

The continuous dark-green band around the mountain is forest, which stretches from roughly 1800 to 2800 meters in elevation. Ground-based researchers have found distinct ecosystems and forest types within this green band, but from space, we mostly see it as the lower boundary of Kilimanjaro National Park. When the park was established in 1973, only small corridors within the forest belt were protected. In 2005, the park boundaries were redrawn to include the more of the montane forests.

As we move up Kilimanjaro, the dark green areas transition to a band of green-brown known as the moorland zone. Vegetation still survives here, but it is nothing like the wet, humid forests found at lower elevations. The climate is colder and less humid, and the landscape is full of shorter, hardier plants such as the mountain’s iconic senecios and lobelias. The moorland landscape extends to about 4000 meters, above which vegetation becomes even more scarce.

The highest alpine desert and summit zones are relatively inhospitable. But climbers who make the journey are rewarded with an expansive view.

One of the densest animal populations in Africa may be found in Ngorongoro Crater, which is recognized for both its geological significance and for being a natural wildlife reserve.

The Ngorongoro Crater's large concentration of wild animals in a very small area is its principal draw. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was created two to three million years ago when a volcano erupted and fell in on itself. One of the densest animal populations may be found in Africa because of the crater's 2,000-foot high walls, which prevent many species from migrating in and out.

Tanzania Culture Tourism

Knowledge about Lake Eyasi Hadzabe
The trip to Lake Eyasi Hadzabe is among our most well-liked cultural excursions.
These amazing hunter-gatherers continue to live much the same way they have throughout history, defying Tanzania's rapid industrialization in a way that is absolutely interesting to observe.

A very unique cultural experience and one of our most popular add-ons is the chance to hunt with the Hadzabe tribe's men in the early morning before exploring their village with a Datoga guide.

Mount Meru Trekking

In Tanzania's southeast Arusha Region, Mount Meru is a dormant stratovolcano that is situated 70 kilometers west of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the fifth-highest mountain peak in Africa, depending on definition, and is visible from Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day. Its height is 4,562.13 meters.

Maximum range covered
The distance between the climb and descent is little over 35km
Ascent Timing
Pick climbing months are generally January through March and June through October, when temperatures in Moshi average 22 degrees Celsius and summit temperatures hover around - 5 degrees Celsius. Rain usually falls in April, May, and November, however in the modern era, climate change has significantly altered this pattern. With clear sky, December is growing warmer once more.
