Tanzania is one of the forerunners of the African tourism industry as it receives a huge chunk of the tourist traffic to the continent. Although the main attraction of Tanzania has always been its national parks Serengeti in particular and their exotic wildlife that has caught the imagination of the tourists. But the enchanting Mt. Kilimanjaro the highest peak of Africa has also started to attract thousands of tourists towards its majestic beauty.The Kilimanjaro Park that was established in 1977 to preserve the natural beauty and goodness of the mountain and its surrounding grasslands that are home to many indigenous tribes that are living there according to their traditional lifestyle for centuries.
The recent improvement in the tourism infrastructure has resulted in soaring tourist visits which has taken the tourism industry of Tanzania to a new level.The park is located on about 3 hours of drive from Dar es Salam the capital of Tanzania. You can get cheap air tickets to Dar es Salam from most of the major European airports. You can decide to tag along with a tourist group that is planning for a tour to the park, for this you will have to contact a tour operator on the airport. Or you can also decide to do it all by your self and hire a car from the city to take you to the park although the prior option will be a lot cheaper than this one.
If you take our recommendations seriously then it should be said that Kilimanjaro mountain with it highest point at 5896 meters is one of the three must see places of Africa, Victoria falls in Zimbabwe and Table Mountain in Cape Town are the other two must see places of the continent. As your journey from the capital will progress towards the park you will see the mountain slowly rising from the low farmlands of Tanzania. There is a small fee of around 10 GBP for entering into the park which starts at the foot of the mountain.
The best way for exploring the mountain is by trekking, and if you are a trekking enthusiast then Kilimanjaro is surely your paradise. The middle part of the mountain is a lush forest with some unique animal species of Africa and its tracks will provide you with an awesome hiking experience. Reaching the summit of the mountain is a daunting task that will require quite a lot of physical effort and also is a costly endeavor as on average a person will have to pay around $2000 to $5000 for all the expenses to reach the summit.
The park is also a great place for having a unique cultural experience as the villages in the mountain have preserved their lifestyle to the most extent and you will be able to see the real culture of Tanzania here. The park authorities arrange cultural shows for the tourists but for a more genuine experience pay a visit to one of these villages and take a look into their daily lifestyle by your self. As said earlier the tourism infrastructure of the park has improved tremendously so you will easy find a resort that suits you taste and budget.
