7. MOUNT KILIMANJARO
 At 5,895m, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain in
the world, so it can truly be regarded as the roof of Africa.
 Now a World Heritage site, its outstanding features are its three major
volcanic centres, Shira in the west, Mawenzi in the East and the
snowcapped Kibo in the centre.
 The forests of the surrounding national park are inhabited by elusive
elephant, leopard, buffalo, bushbuck, the endangered Abbott’s duiker,
and numerous other small antelope, primates and rodents. They are
however difficult to see due to the dense vegetation.

8. ROUTES
•The great Mount
Kilimanjaro is a metaphor
for the compelling beauty
of East Africa. Rising in
absolute isolation, at
5,895 m (19,336 ft.),
Mount Kilimanjaro is one
of the highest walk able
summits on the planet

9. MACHAME RROUTE( WHISK ROUTE)
6/8 Day Kilimanjaro Climbing
Overview
Machame route is one of the
toughest route with very
beautiful scenery starting on
the base of Kilimanjaro in
Machame gate and ending at
Mwika gate.

10. MARANGU ROUTE Of the Kilimanjaro routes,
The Marangu Route, affectionately known as
the "Coca-Cola route", is by far the most
popular route on Mount Kilimanjaro.
•This could partly due to the fact that it is
the least expensive route, but more so,
perhaps due to the fact that it is possible to
do the Marangu route in 5 days, thereby
getting to the summit one day earlier than
on the other routes.
•This is not always the best way due to a
shorter acclimatization period.
•The route does however offer you the
option of spending an extra acclimatization
day on the mountain. This extends the route
to a 6-day, greatly increasing your chances
of success.

11. MARANGU HUTS ACCOMMODATION-HUTS
 Marangu is the only route
where tourists can sleep in
huts. Hut accommodation on
this route forms one of the
main differences, compared
to the other routes.
 It offers you the relative
luxury of being able to sleep
in huts along the entire
route.The relative 'comfort' of
sleeping in huts is especially
welcome if one is climbing
Kilimanjaro in the rainy
season.

17. TOURISM SECTOR IN TANZANIA
 This can be divided into different areas
 The northern Circuit of tourism covering
Ngorongoro Conservation Area where Ngorongoro
crater is found.
 The Serengeti National Park,Manyara National
Park,Tarangire National Park,Arusha National
Park,Kilimanjaro National Park( Mt.Kili) and the
Mkomazi Game reserve.

 This includes Selous Game reserve, Mikumi
NP,Udzungwa NP,Ruaha NP,Rungwa
GR,Bagamoyo,Kilwa,Mafia Island and Dar es

19.  For the Northern Circuit of tourism the entry point is
Kilimanjaro International Air Port (JRO) where one is
transferred to a nearby city called Arusha where the real
adventure begins.
 Arusha City is both a commercial and a living place for
individuals of all work of life from all over the region. This
is a peaceful city which hosts the International Criminal
Court for Rwanda premises(ICTR).
 It is this city which produces Tanzanite,a blue mineral
which is available only in this place in the world.

20. NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
 The Ngorongoro Crater, which covers more than 15 km in
diameter, covered with huge herds of zebra and antelope
and surrounded by walls over 650 meters high, is perhaps
the most famous natural reserve in Africa and since
1978, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
 Inside the Crater you can find virtually every major
African mammal and in the salt lake, which is located on
the bottom of the crater, you can see flocks of pink
flamingos wade in water in search of food.
 It is estimated that the crater occurred about two million
years ago and that it might have reached a height similar
to that of Kilimanjaro, only to fall inward and give rise to
the present structure.

21.  The structure of the crater is circular, with a diameter of
about 20 km. While on board, which is approximately 2300
meters, the climate is cold and often foggy inside the
caldera, the air is hot and dry and the vegetation changes
rapidly depending on the season.
 The Masai people live there with their herds even though
since 1979 can no longer cultivate the land. The Masai are
also allowed to descend into the crater to graze at sunset.
 The crater provides a protected habitat for thousands
of mammals and birds.

zebras and antelopes.
• Herbivores such as wildebeest and zebras are concentrated here for the great
annual migration that takes them to face the crossing of major rivers where
many of them end up eaten, maimed or drowned. Spend the dry season in the
western Serengeti then move east again before the rains.
• The park is also famous for the large number of lions, cheetahs and giraffes.
• The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves p
ound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thompson’s g

gemstone only found in Tanzania, Africa.
 This very unusual "new" gemstone
discovered in 1967 has created a huge
demand worldwide.
 In the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro in
Tanzania is the only known mining site of
tanzanite, called Mererani Hills.
 Many rumors have surfaced throughout
the years concerning other locations, but
none have been proven.

31. TANZANITE GERMS STONE
 The once populated area, where thousands of workers were busy extracting
quality rough tanzanite, is now pretty quiet. Not much action for an area, which
gave the world its number 1 demanded colored gem.
 There once were over 2,000 pits or holes in the ground with miners going deep
into the surface of the earth to find its deep colored treasures.
 However, with time came the lack of productivity, causing many to abandon and
leave this beautiful area. Today there are about 150 pits in the grounds with
several hundred workers.
 The Mererani Hills are divided into four blocks. Block A is currently mined out.
Block B is the only official active area. Block C is restarting some production.
Block D is where the fine quality once was very abundant. Although it is
temporarily closed due to flooding, we still occasionally receive a parcel from
Block D

 In total the mining sector contributes 2.8% to GDP each year but this could
rise considerably in future, with Business Monitor International (BMI)
forecasting average annual growth in the sector of 7.7% between 2011 and
2015.
 BMI also predict a doubling in value of the sector between 2010 and 2015,
