Tanzania Camping Safaris

safari. These type of safaris are excellent for a person who enjoys
outdoor activities! With our camping tours, we use our 4 wheel
safari vehicles with roof hatches excellent for sight seeing.
Our camping safaris are Private and not group tours. This means that
it will only be you with your travel companion on our safari
vehicle, of course accompanied with our knowledgeable and friendly
guides. Our safaris can be arranged at any date.

Mount Kilimanjaro Trek + Safari
Kilimanjaro is the world's highest free standing, snow-covered
equatorial mountain. Now charted and climbed; stories of her
resident man-eating spirits are relegated to the realms of folklore.
But Mount Kilimanjaro continues to preserve a mysticism that defies
all recent knowledge of her slopes. Images of the towering
snow-covered cone rising majestically from fertile green foothills
have become a powerful motif of Tanzania's extraordinary extremes.
Few could deny a very distinct sense of awe when the cloud clears to
reveal a glimpse of the towering peaks, shining bright in the
equatorial sun.
A Towering Life Force
Kilimanjaro represents a powerful life force for the local Chagga
people and all those who have made their lives around this mountain,
providing rich volcanic soils for agriculture and an endless source
of pure spring waters.
Climbing Kilimanjaro
One of the most amazing aspects of the mountain in the present day
is the accessibility of its peak to climbers with no mountain
climbing equipment or real previous experience of scaling such
heights. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain that regular tourists
can climb, although it remains a considerable feat of human
endurance!
The breathable oxygen at the top is less than half the amount than
is common at sea level, and climbers cover at least eighty
kilometres on nothing but their own two feet over the five days it
takes to reach the top and return.
Preserving the Mountain
The number of climbers has escalated to over a thousand a year
during the last century, quite a development since Hans Meyer made
history as the first European to scale the highest point of
Kilimanjaro in 1889. The increasing numbers each year have made it
necessary for the National Park to insist that all climbs are
pre-booked, and passes are no longer issued at the last minute at
the park gate.
Overall Fitness Required
Although it is possible to simply trek a route to the pinnacle of
Kibo without relying on professional climbing equipment, it remains
a hard and serious endeavour that requires a level of physical
fitness, stamina and a realistic awareness of the potentially
damaging effects of high altitudes.
Many tour operators request that clients consult a doctor before
attempting to scale the mountain, and have a physical check-up for
overall fitness.
Phases of the Climb; First Stage, Tropical Forest
With most of the old lowland forest now cultivated and settled, the
first experience of the mountain environment begins with the dense
vegetation of tropical montane forest between 1850m and around
2800m.
Cloud condensation mainly gathers around the forest, so this area is
usually damp or drenched with rainfall, creating an intriguing mass
of plant life and running rivers between endemic tree species. The
area of heath just beyond the tree line also enjoys a relatively
misty and damp environment as cloud clings around the density of
trees. This is covered with heather and shrubs such as Erica Arborea
and Stoebe Kilimandsharica, and a number of dramatic looking Proteas.
Open Moorland
From around 3,200m a wide expanse of moorland extends beyond the
heath and the cloud line, so that here the skies are generally
clear, making the sunshine intense during the days and the nights
cool and clear.
The climbing incline remains gentle, but thinning oxygen provides
less fuel to energise the muscles and can dramatically slow the pace
of walking. Hardy endemic species of Giant Groundsels (Senecio) and
Lobelia (Deckenii) towering up to 4m high thrive in this moorland
zone and give the landscape a strangely primeval atmosphere.
Alpine Desert, Sparse Vegetation
Even higher, beyond 4,000m, this sensation intensifies as the
landscape develops into a more bizarre alpine desert, with sandy
loose earth and intense weather conditions and temperature
fluctuations so dramatic that barely any plant species survive other
than everlasting flowers, mosses and lichens. Only the odd lichen
survives beyond 5000m, after Kibo Huts and beyond the Saddle, where
the landscape is predominantly rock and ice fields. Here, climbers
experience the final steep push to the summit.
Saddle to Summit
The easterly routes, Marangu, Mweka, Loitokitok and Rongai all
converge west of the saddle near Gillmans Point, between the peaks
of Mawenzi and Kibo. Kibos crater is roughly circular with an inner
cone extending to 5,800m, (100m lower than the summit at Uhuru
Peak).
At the centre an inner crater with walls between 12 and 20 m high
contains another concentric minor cone, the centre of which falls
away into the 360m span of the ash pit. This is the 120 metre deep
central core of the volcano, and casts sulphurous boiling smoke from
its depths despite the frozen, snowy outskirts.
Planning your Kilimanjaro Climb
Kili climbs can be arranged for a variety of different routes and
with various options for accommodation. It is really well worth
spending time in the planning stages!

in the interior.
The rainy season is divided into two periods: the long rains fall
between March and June, whereas

temperatures are highest
during January, February and March.

Mt. Kilimanjaro
Routes
All Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Routes
Choosing the right Kilimanjaro route for your climb is an important
decision.
There are seven Mount Kilimanjaro routes, six routes up Kilimanjaro,
and one down.
(One of the ascent routes can also be used for descent, so there are
two descent routes.)
Several of these trails meet after a few days climbing.
There are only three dedicated routes from the base of Kibo—the main
peak—to the Kilimanjaro crater rim. (One of them, the Western Breach
route, is a challenging and dangerous route and not used much.)
The routes to climb Kilimanjaro approach the mountain from different
sides (map coming) and they vary considerably in length, difficulty,
traffic levels and other aspects.
