Travelling to Dar es Salaam will see little dots of the plane. These are giraffes, gazelles, zebras. They will be fine to start your trip in Tanzania. But I will be calm and relaxed because you are climbing the highest peak in Afrika.Tanzaniya is located in East Africa between Kenya and Mozambique. There are international airports in Dar-Es-Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. There are a variety of local bus lines that connect the main attractions of Tanzania. Weather in Tanzania changed dramatically. Along the coast is hot and humid. A higher parts of the tropical climate is temperate.

During the ascent of Kilimanjaro will walk in the lush tropical forest. In the gaps between the trees you can see spectacular views of the plains, this is a small part of what is coming up. Giant Senecio vulgaris and large thorny bushes colonized this part. And birds and animals are absent. Further, on his way to meet the desert. The altitude will dramatically affect their travel by hammering headache and unquenchable thirst. Soon tundra will again fill your environment, and you can feel the end is in sight.
The climb will start at 1:00 at night. Tundra will give way to dry ice and scree. They will make climbing more difficult. The temperature will drop to minus 10 degrees. And biting wind will pass through the mountains. In four hours the temperature will start to lift with the rising sun. Sun will reveal fields of Africa below the low. After passing Gilmans Point on the edge of the crater, the last coming slippery meters to the summit. Finally standing on one of the seven most peaks of seven continents, it is easy to grasp the fascination of this great African mountain.
