Flying past Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa.

In this picture, you can see 2 of Mount Kilimanjaro’s 3 volcanic cones.

The taller snow-capped one is called Kibo. The smaller one to the right is called Mawenzi. The third not seen in this picture is Shira.

Although Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo, which is what most people climb when they climb Mount Kilimanjaro, is simply dormant and could erupt again. (Did you know this?)

Kilimanjaro Meaning

Kilimanjaro means ‘white mountain’ or ‘mount of whiteness’. To break it down, kilima in Swahili means either a small mountain or mount, while njaro is the Chagga word for ‘whiteness’.

Where Is Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro is both the name of a mountain and a region in northern Tanzania, close to/on its border with Kenya.

It’s that time again: time for a pictures post featuring the best of my Instagram gallery.

This time the pictures span three countries and 10 locales across those countries.

I’ve even got pictures for you taken from the sky, above the clouds.

Thematically, as always, this list includes sunset photos and pictures taken near bodies of water, including the world’s second largest freshwater lake.

No. 24: A Crazy Sunset in Lushoto, Tanzania

Man and boys during a golden sunset in Lushoto Tanzania

When some kids who had followed us to the viewpoint saw the young man in my before-last picture standing on the rock at the edge of the 800-meter drop at Irente View Point, they too wanted to be daring like him. No matter how courageous I think I am, nothing was getting me onto that rock! My heart was in my mouth for those children…I could take pictures of them though.
