Kilimanjaro is a mountain range almost on the equator in Tanzania on the border with Kenya and perhaps because of the way it stands out from the surrounding landscape, it is considered a beautiful and extraordinary mountain and often a symbol of the African continent. It consists of 3 dormant stratovolcanoes - Shira, Mawenzi and Kibo. On the Kibo volcano, at 5895 m above sea level, is the highest point of Tanzania and the entire African continent - Uhuru Peak ( Peak of Freedom in Czech).
The climb to Kilimanjaro is intended for physically fit individuals of an adventurous nature. The route consists of equatorial jungle, rough terrain and the snow-covered summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Marangu Route to the summit of Kilimanjaro, also known as the Coca Cola Route, is an easier option to climb Africa's highest mountain.
About half of the people who choose the 5-day Marangu Route will not make it to the summit. This number would change drastically if these people chose the 6-day Marangu Route, which includes an acclimatization day. This increases the success rate to over 80%.
Ngorongoro Crater is a vast area stretching between the walls of a huge caldera, an ancient extinct volcano in northern Tanzania. The exact location of this so-called "eighth wonder of the world" is 180 km west of the town of Arusha. The bottom of the caldera lies at 1 800 m, while its walls are about 600 m higher. The 260 km² caldera contains the largest concentration of African wildlife, including the so-called Big Five (buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, rhino). Approximately 30 000 individuals live here. The Maasai have named this place the Gift of Life.
Serengeti National Park is located in northern Tanzania, east of Lake Victoria, and is one of Africa's most famous and extensive protected areas. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. It covers an area of 14,763 km². The landscape is dominated by a large number of magnificent animals, including wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants and rhinos.
