1. MOUNT KILIMANJARO (HEIGHT OF MAGNIFICENCE)

Mount Kilimanjaro is the crown of Tanzania. Rising abruptly from the open plains, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, it is one of Africa’s classic images. At 19, 344 feet above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest walkable summit in the world. The diameter of its base is an incredible 40 miles. Now voted one of the top three “Natural wonders of Africa”, Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant, but not extinct volcano. Ominous rumbles can sometimes be heard and gases emerge from the fume holes in the crater. Although just three degrees south of the Equator, the peaks of both Kibo and Mawenzi have permanent caps of snow and ice. During their time on the Mountain, climbers pass from a tropical to arctic environment in just a few days. The various trails first pass – through lush rainforests before reaching heather and open moorland where giant lobelia and huge, cactus – like groundsel grow. Above this moorland is the almost lunar landscape of an alpine desert which stretches between the two peaks of Kibo, the flat – topped dome at the center, and Mawenzi, a group of jagged points and pinnacles on the eastern side. In hospitable as this “moonscape” may seem, animals such as herds of eland thrive there. The highest point on Kibo, and indeed the whole of Kilimanjaro, is Uhuru peak, with its spectacular hanging glaciers and stupendous views of the African plains some 20,000 feet below. Also, on Kibo is the slightly lower peak of Gillman’s point. These are the goals for most trekkers. The peaks of Mawenzi are for mountaineers only. With the help of porters and a guide, it is possible to walk all the way to the summit without specialized Mountaineering equipment – or experience. There are several different routes including Marangu, the easiest climb and therefore the most popular, Machame, Shira, Umbwe and Rongai. The total climb normally takes five to six days and involves four or five overnight stays in comfortable mountain huts. Fees, payable in US Dollars, include the cost of both park entrance and accommodation for climbers, guides and porters but not food and equipment. Many thousands of trekkers reach Gillman’s point or Uhuru Peak successfully each year without any real difficulty. To avoid altitude sickness and failure, it is important to acclimatize by ascending slowly and steadily. It is best to plan a stay at a Moshi or Marangu hotel – climbing straight after the drive from Arusha is not a good idea. Kilimanjaro can be climbed at any time of the year but the best time is considered to be from August to October and January to March. It is wet in the rainforest during the rains in April, May, June and November. December through to February are the warmest months.

1. MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK (KILIMANJARO & TANGA REGIONS)

This former game reserve contains 90% of all botanic species found in Tanzania with one third classified as unique in the world. It is also home to the Mkomazi Rhino Project. This involves the re – introduction of a number of black rhinos from South Africa and the UK which, it is hoped, will breed before being relocated to traditional natural habitats within Tanzania. The captive Breeding Program for the African wild dog is another project for the preservation of endangered  species that is based in Mkomazi.

Background information

Mwanza is situated on the southern shores of Lake Victoria (Nyanza), in the northwest of the country, Tanzania’s second city is the perfect base from which to visit nearby Rubondo Island National Park, Saanane Island National Park and the Bujora Sukuma and Nyerere Museums. It also offers easy access to the Serengeti National Park being only a 2 ½ hour drive from the western Grumeti. Other attractions include lake cruises, canoeing safaris and fishing for tilapia or giant Nile perch. Mwanza is known as Rocky City because of the gigantic rocky outcrops (Kopjes) jutting out of the lake and strewn around the city. The most famous of these are the Bismarck Rocks, named after the German chancellor under whom this originally small town was established as the administration center of German East Africa.

MWANZA FAST FACTS

Mwanza was founded in 1892 by a German colonial agent – Emin Pasha as an administrative center to control cotton exports. In 1890, the German colonists decided to open the new administration unit at Lake Victoria (Nyanza) and built a house on top of a rock. This house constituted the foundation of Mwanza. They called the rock – Muansa, probably a misunderstanding from Sukuma word “Nyanza” which means Lake. From there the Germans started planning the whole town and the port in 1892. Mwanza is nicknamed the “Rocky City” for a reason all around and also right in the middle of the city, rounded rock fragments hulk up to fantastic formation and create a landscape that is unique in Tanzania. The architecture, the rocks and of course Lake Victoria definitely make Mwanza worth a journey. Prof. Hans Meyer, writing in the Das Deutsch Kolonialreich in 1908, said by then Mwanza consisted of 1200 Africans, 64 European inhabitants and 50 Indian traders. There were a handful of European firms and a district office. Others were a company of soldiers, a post and telegraphic line to Tabora, a hospital and a hotel. In 1953, Mwanza was elevated to the status of a town council by then British colonial governor, Sir Edward Twining. In 1980, Mwanza became the second municipality after TANGA.

UKEREWE ISLANDS

Ukerewe island is the largest island in Lake Victoria (Nyanza) and the largest inland island in Africa, with an area of approximately 530 Sq.km, nearly 50 kms north of Mwanza. The shoreline of Ukerewe island is carved into numerous bays and is surrounded by 27 small islands. 3 of these islands are not occupied by people. Nansio is the district’s capital. Ukerewe is populated by natives, an indigenous of one ethnic group, which has lived traditionally depending on fishing and farming.
