This
is Africa's highest mountain and the most awesome sight. Snowcapped and
not yet extinct, at (5895m ), it is surrounded by rain forest and is
home to many animals such as Elephants, Buffaloes, Rhinos, Leopards, and
Monkeys. Monkeys and Elands are the only animals that can be seen at the
summits of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks. The snow-capped peak, the dream of
scaling the summit, watching dawn break and gazing out over the vast African
wildlife, plains and bushland is an experience not to be missed. Kilimanjaro
can be trekked at any time of the year, however, there is usually a lot
of rain during April, May and November which makes trekking even more
challenging.
