Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most easily climbed peaks in the world. This is due to many factors - 1.Its relatively smooth and steep slopes, best to prevent acclimatization2.Its convenient height - not too high3.The absence of frequent landslides, except directly near the Kibo peakAs a result, many thousands have scaled the Kilimanjaro since its peak was first conquered in 1887. Taking stock of everyone who has successfully performed the feat is impossible. However, there have been many notable incidents related to scaling the Kilimanjaro. The first successful expedition to scale the Kilimanjaro was the 4th trip made for the purpose. The achievement belongs to Hans Meyer, who scaled the Kibo peak in 1887 after three thwarted attempts over the previous forty years. In 1889, Hans Meyer repeated this feat, taking with him Ludwig Purtscheller and about 60 porters. This time, Meyer named the Kibo's summer "Kaiser Wilhem Spitze" - a name that Tanzanians were forced to accept as the country was then a German colony. 1912 saw a German duo, Oehler and Klute, scaling the Mawenzi peak - a feat Meyer had not achieved. In a "tribute" that sounds somewhat back-handed, they named the Mawenzi...more

At the base of the mountain, vegetation is nearly identical to that of the...more
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the world's most famous volcanoes. Volcanoes, as everyone knows, are mountains that explode every once in a while, causing untold devastation... and then dying down again for thousands of years. You have to wonder - how do these mountains get formed? Why do they explode? Why do they have craters on top? Most importantly - will the Kilimanjaro explode while I'm on it?So many questions. But worry not, here are the answers. First of all, the Kilimanjaro is not likely to erupt while you are on it, as it hasn't exploded in at least 150,000 years. Right now, scientists are more concerned with the rapidly dissolving glaciers on the Kilimanjaro's peak than the possibility of a volcanic eruption from its core. However, the Kilimanjaro must have been an extremely active volcano to have reached the size it is at now - standing 4600 meters above its base, and with a peak height of 5832 meters. Volcanoes originated when the mass of liquid that formed the earth slowly began to solidify on the surface. This is what gave birth to what we call "land" now. Land, however, was not continuous, and still is not so. The surface of the earth is divided into plates that rub...more
