Kilimanjaro:
The Umbwe Route |
| Kilimanjaro, situated
south of the equator in Tanzania at 19,340
feet, (5,895m) is Africa's highest mountain
and the highest 'free standing' mountain in
the world, where huge permanent glaciers flow
down from the summit. Spectacular views and
beautiful ice formations are the reward for
the successful trekker, as well as the satisfaction
of 'topping out' this mighty peak of Africa,
by the Umbwe route, dubbed the best kept secret
of Kilimanjaro. |
