Expedition Adventures in Kilimanjaro National Park
The very word Kilimanjaro conjures up memories of Hemingway’s stories, and brings to mind pictures of zebra and giraffes, backed by this snow-capped mountain. Mount Kilimanjaro is the main attraction for the national park. It is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest volcanoes in the world. For those who want to make the climb, be aware that much training and preparation need to go into your mountain safari to make it a safe ascent. Those who make it to the top say it is an exhilarating, almost surreal experience.
Expedition adventures in Kilimanjaro National Park can be expanded to include safaris to Lake Manyara National Park, where you can find an abundance of animals from elephants to the lions who enjoy sleeping away the day in the acacia trees. Also nearby is the Ngorongoro Crater, which holds the history of man’s beginnings. To drive down, down to the floor of the crater and watch the spectacle of predator stalking prey may be your best memory of the trip. The only way to top this would be to go to the Serengeti National Park for what is said to be the best animal viewing in all Africa.If you like what you see, keep going: Welcome to East Africa – Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania
