Kilimanjaro is called "the crown of Tanzania." With the same success it It could be called the "crown of Africa", because it is the highest mountain range on this continent. Geographically located in the south-eastern part of Africa, in Tanzania. Despite the hot climate, snow on top of it never melts. Therefore, from a distance makes truly fantastic spectacle - virtually flat plains It grows gigantic mountain ridges ending in clouds. As Hemingway said about the types of this part of Africa - they are "wide as the world is immense, high and incredibly clean ... "
Kilimanjaro is a huge dormant volcano, which consists of two well- expressed highest peaks and another lower. The tallest vertex is called Kibo. Its height is 5895 meters above sea level.
The second peak of slightly lower, called Mawenzi and has a height of 5149 meters. The third peak -Shira Ridge, has a height of "only" 3962 meters. Despite the fact that the top Kibo has a greater height, it more accessible for climbing than Mawenzi and conquer it can almost any healthy person with a special wish. But the apex Mawenzi is available only for the conquest of well-trained groups climbers.
Climbing routes presented 7 main trail. Five of these designed for climbing only. One for running and one for ascents and for the descent. These rules are prescribed for execution Kilimanjaro National Park. Five routes for recovery called Shira, Lemosho, Machame, Umbwe, Loitokitok or Rongai.
The route for lift and for descent called Marangu, or Coca-Cola way. And the only route for the descent called Mweka. Home and the highest peak of the mountain - Kibo, at an altitude of about 4,000 meters, encircles the circular trail, which is called - Ring Kibo. Yet it is divided into North and South Ring Ring Kibo Kibo. All routes climbing meet this roundabout path and continue to the top are three trails - Western Breach Trail (also known as Route Arrow Glacier), the trail Barafu (Barafu) and so-called trail huts Kibo. All routes are designed for the conquest of Kibo 5-7 days, and it was mentioned above, it does not require special mountaineering training.
Kilimanjaro being not only the highest mountain system in Africa, and also one of the world's largest volcanoes. An array of ridges It covers an area of 388,500 hectares. Kibo crater is the most preserved, its highest point - the peak of Uhuru, 5895 meters. This is the highest point Africa and the goal of every traveler who visited Kilimanjaro. This vertex has powerful glaciers and is always covered with snow. Its crater on actually has three concentric crater and here you can still see signs of volcanic activity - the smoke and the smell of sulfur. Vertex Mawenzi has no permanent glaciation, but because of the steep slopes It is quite complex and difficult to climb. The tallest point of the peaks peak Hans Meyer, height 5149 meters. Ridge Shira - the third and most low top, height 3962 meters as thought is nothing else but destroyed during the eruption of the mountain range. It stretches from the plateau of the same name, is nothing but first as a caldera volcano, filled with lava from later eruptions. Caldera is the destruction of the crater of an extinct volcano. it a large plateau covers an area of 6200 hectares and is A distinctive feature of this beautiful natural wonder creation.
It is not surprising that such a huge mountain range has its own microclimate. It is caused by winds from both the Indian Ocean, and from the southeast, which are facing the mountain ridges, raising moist air masses, leading to loss Precipitation in the form of rain at the foot of the mountains and the snow on its summit. These Monsoon winds create two rainy season in the area. First -long season tropical rains, which lasts from the beginning of March to the end May. The second - a short season of tropical rains, beginning in the early November and lasts till February month. The climate in Tanzania, mostly tropical temperatures throughout the year range from 20 to 32 degrees Celsius. Warmest in February and March, cooler (relatively) - in July and August. The best time to visit the country: from July to October and / or December to March. The best time of year for climbing Kilimanjaro is the period from early January to mid- March and from June to October.
To conquer the highest point of Kilimanjaro does not require special physical or mountaineering skills. But still guides insist on pre-training, based mainly on overcoming the "altitude sickness" - particularly breathing at high altitudes. But in this respect, this top of the "softer" the others, it is even lower "Growth". Its proximity to the equator causes higher thickness atmospheric layer than, for example, the Caucasus or the Alps. therefore breathing is much easier to climb above the clouds and can even children! So the youngest conqueror of the mountain was only 9 years old! In 2002,
South Africans, Joshua Schumacher has made the bold attempt, which in turn led to a breach of the basic rules of the Park - the mountain not allowed to go up to people younger than 10 years. And most elderly "Climber", the Frenchman Veyltu Daniel, at the time of the ascent was 87
years.
