Africa has always ignited the wild imaginations of adventurous travelers and it is pretty hard to compete with the wonders of the continent: breathtaking landscapes, intriguing culture, wildlife, free-roaming animals and countless attractions in the area.

If you are looking for a place to travel in Africa - the famous province of Kilimanjaro is the ultimate destination for you.

The province is famous for its highest mountain in Africa which rises to a height of 5,895 meters and is a dormant volcano located in northern Tanzania.

But apart from the challenging climb of the mountain, Kilimanjaro offers visitors at its gates countless exciting and energetic experiences not to be missed for an unforgettable trip to Tanzania.

Surprises at Kilimanjaro National Park

The province's highlight is undoubtedly the vast national park starring at the mountain, considered as one of the 7 Africa's natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There are seven mountain climbing routes and in any case, even those who do not climb will be able to enjoy the open spaces - a meeting with elephants and tigers, colobus monkeys and the famous giraffes of Kilimanjaro.

The tracks here are amazing, a tree rabbit and an African buffalo. The experiential walking tour around the reserve is incomplete without the spectacular vantage point on the mountain and of course on its perfect summit. Photogenic and inspiring spectacle!

Outdoor spa

KIKULETWA's hot springs are among the favorite sites in the area. The pool is surrounded by impressive tall trees and between them a swing from which you can jump directly into the water. The water shade is spectacular in its beauty - a spectacular deep turquoise color and lagoons with roots that go down to the depths of the springs. You will feel like in a natural-made spa!

Experiencing cascading waterfalls

Kilimanjaro Falls will show the power of nature in all its glory. Marangu Waterfall is located in the National Park at the foot of the mountain and which water comes from the glacier in the mountain.

A hiking trail will lead you through the lush vegetation to a waterfall that creates a wonderfully refreshing swimming-pool with streams of water. Nearby you will discover another famous waterfall called Ndoro, a great waterfall that splashes chunks of cool water from which you will surely enjoy the sound of flowing water and the beauty of the small streams. Feel free to indulge in total relaxation.

A tour of orchards

An integral part of your trip in the district passes through the impressive orchards of the area - the banana orchards and the coffee orchards. If we are talking about coffee, then the journey following the aromatic liquid goes through huge coffee plantations in an organized tour with a fascinating guide who will tell you all about growing and processing coffee and of course you will be impressed by the coffee trees and fruits before harvesting and learn to roast and finish tasting fresh coffee.

You are also welcome to continue the tour of the banana plantations when more than 20 varieties grow in Tanzania, only some of them are suitable for eating and an experiential tour of the banana plantations will tell you everything that is important to know about Tanzanian bananas.
