Kilimanjaro National Park

Kilimanjaro National Park is home to the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro, standing at 19,341 feet above sea level. The park covers a diverse range of ecosystems from tropical rainforests to alpine deserts. Its varying altitudes provide habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna, including unique species such as the Abbot's duiker and the Kilimanjaro tree hyrax. Historically, the mountain has been a significant landmark for both local cultures and explorers from around the world. Visitors are primarily drawn to the challenge of summiting the peak via various trails like the Marangu, Machame, and Lemosho routes. Along these trails, hikers traverse lush forests, moorlands bursting with wildflowers, and the tranquil beauty of the high-altitude crater. Kilimanjaro National Park is not only a magnet for climbers but also for those interested in its ecological diversity and stunning landscapes.
