Kilimanjaro is actually one of a series of volcanoes in Tanzania, notable others include Meru (4566m)- which is approximately 60km distant, and further still away is Lengai - a little lower in altitude (approx 2886m) but nevertheless awesome.
The mountain is very close to the equator, and hence the weather at the base of the mountain is year round warm.... this does not apply as your climb begins... |
