"Trekking on the highest Africa Mountain"

                                                                         
     One of the pride of a mountain climber is to be on the top of a mountain peak,similar with mountain trekkers always like to explore such mountain nature which form part of eye"s wonder.the great Africa giant Mt Kilimanjaro provide good challenge for both trekker's and climbers,stands at 5885m above the sea leval in a warm tropical climate with snow cupped on it's top peaks.
It takes five to six days for climbers to reach to the top of some of it's three peaks of Shira,Mawenzi and Kibo,normal for tours they have to be escorted by mountain guides.
There are a bout seven routes that are used for trekking these sleeping tropical giant,Machame and Maragu forms two mostly used routes while others are Rongai,Shira,Lemosho,Mawenzi and Umbwe routes,all routes lead to the top side,the different comes with the peak intended to be explored by the climbers,as the their only three major peaks of shira,Mawenzi and Kibo to be explored,
Climbers on Machame route
Machame route is one of the mostly used by many visitors as it's somehow relatively challenging to climb than other routes it's nick named whishy route,it  offer a best scenery of the mountain overlooking the entire mountain view from the top side.
Climbers can rest and enjoy the scene such that makes them forggeting the tiresome journey upward the peaks,Maragu route too offer almost scene like Machame but trekkers had to travel a bit distance from kilimanjaro international airport which is relative closer to Machame route but the easiest route to follow nick named Coca cola route.
It's not only climbing as many may thought like walking from one point to the other,imagine if you have to travel or stay for six days as a group,definitely you need enough glossaries and some necessity to keep you survive,as also with mountain trekking which takes five to six days people have to carried with them enough stuffs.
Climbers normal are accompany with guides and potters,guides their used and well familiar with the routes and weather patterns such that's makes it easier for climbers to get to the top without much hassling,mean while the potters assist in carrying of the stuffs for the short period going and returning downwards.
For protective clothing it's a must especially against the cold climate on the top area as climbers approaching the glacier part and weather constant changing as one ascend up,Kilimanjaro mountain is magical with amazing scenery that one will always tempted to re-visit and explore often,a round the mountain is Kilimanjaro National Park with some of the wild game animals and good accommodation caters for both locals and foreign tourist.
