Visit Kilimanjaro

The Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania is a stunning area of natural beauty, known for its iconic namesake, Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. This region attracts adventurers from all over the world, eager to conquer its summit, and offers breathtaking landscapes with its lush plains, dense forests, and unique wildlife. Apart from the mountain, the Kilimanjaro region is also home to the Chala Lake, a hidden gem located in a caldera on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, known for its changing colors. Another must-visit is the Marangu Gate, the starting point of the popular Marangu Route, where tourists can explore the Kilimanjaro National Park and visit the Chagga Live Museum to learn more about the local Chagga tribe. An interesting historical fact about the region is that it was once a part of the Kilimanjaro District of the German East Africa colony during the early 20th century, which is evident in the architecture of many buildings in the area.
