NATIONAL PARKS IN TANZANIA
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
Kilimanjaro
meaning shining mountain in Swahili. This volcano's highest and
youngest cone is named Kibo. Shira to the west and Mawenzi in the east
are older cones that make up Kilimanjaro. Kibo has not been active in
modern times, but steam and sulfur are still emitted. At the top of
Kibo's summit is a 1 1/2 mile (2 1/4 Km) wide crater.
The visit to Uganda's remaining
mountain gorillas is a memorable experience. [
