Majestic Mount Kilimanjaro

Mt Kilomanjaro National Park Gate, Honey Badger Tours

Above the gently rolling hills and plateau of northern Tanzania stands the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, its slopes and glaciers shimmering above the rising clouds.

Kilimanjaro is located near the town of Moshi Town an area which is in between Arusha Town. We can have a direct flight to KIA airport in Moshi which is an international airport. Mt

Kilimanjaro is a protected area, carefully regulated for climbers to enjoy without leaving a trace of their presence. The mountain’s ecosystems are as strikingly beautiful as they are varied and diverse. On the lowland slopes, much of the mountain is farmland, with coffee, banana, cassava, and maize crops grown for subsistence and cash sale. A few larger coffee farms still exist on the lower slopes, but much of the area outside the national park has been subdivided into small plots.

Once inside the park, thick lowland forest covers the lower altitudes and breaks into alpine meadows once the air begins to thin. Near the peak, the landscape is harsh and barren, with rocks and ices the predominant features above a breathtaking African view.
