I've always been an active hiker and hiked local hills and mountains in Tanzania. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a personal goal, but the only way I could do it in the early 2000s was as a porter.

Did you know that over 80% of the ice cover on Mount Kilimanjaro has vanished? This happened between 1912 and now. Africa’s tallest mountain is a symbol of the climate crisis affecting our planet.

Standing over 19,000 feet tall, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa is the continent's highest point and has been a popular destination for travelers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
