Displayed:   times.

Kilimanjaro National Park is located in the north east of Tanzania near the border with Kenya. Mt Kilimanjaro (it means mountain of Light or Mountain of Greatness) is the highest mountain in Africa. A journey up her slopes takes you on a climatic world tour from the tropics to the Arctic. One can broadly describing the vegetation types from lowest to highest points as follows: montane forest, moorland, upper moor, alpine bogs, and alpine desert towards the peaks. The mountain forest area is home to animals including elephant, buffalo, leopard, eland, Blue monkey, and Black and White Colobus monkeys. Above the “tree line” the most frequently encountered animals are the Grey duiker and eland, and bushbuck and Red duiker have also been found in places.
