MOUNT KILIMANJARO ZEBRA ROCK

MOUNT KILIMANJARO
@ZEBRA ROCK
#MARANGU ROUTE

Altitude:4010 m.a.m.s.l.

📍A set of large volcanic rocks on mt. Kilimanjaro, with a striped pattern that resembles that of a Zebra.

Predominantly a lava cliff, they were formed when mineral rich rain water flowed down on the rocks, turning them partially white or black in some places.

➡️The rocks are used as a destination for an acclimatization hike.

📍Climbers on the 6 day Marangu route are given the option of hiking to the rocks so as to acclimatize themselves to the high altitude, before coming back down to Horombo huts.

📍Whereas those on a 5 day variation of the route continue on to Kibo huts on day 3.

📍What to do there
Hiking, picnics, or the usual photo sessions.

📍Best time to visit
The months of July to February each year, when its warmer and less likely to rain — more hiking time.

📍Location of Zebra rocks
Zebra rocks are about a half hour hike from Horombo huts, and along the route to Mawenzi campsite.

➡️The route to Kibo huts also runs nearby.

📍Like Horombo huts, Zebra rocks are close to the border between the moorland and alpine desert regions of the mountain.

➡️The area does receive some rainfall and has a few small animals such as birds and rodents.

📍How to get there
By hiking only.

We then walk past the Northern Ice Field and Furtwangler Glacier on our way to Crater Camp.

This portion of the trek takes approximately 5-7 hrs. We will have lunch at Crater Camp. From here onwards, the climbing group has 2 options which will be decided in cooperation by the head guides, and all the climbers on the trek.

➡️Option #1: After we have relaxed a bit and have had lunch at Crater Camp, we continue our ascent to the summit. Reaching Uhuru Peak from Crater Camp takes approximately 1.5 hrs. Many climbers still feel great at this point and wish to continue making their ascent to Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m) the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

If your group decides to summit today, you will descend to Barafu Camp (15,239ft or 3,983m) and overnight there. This portion descending from the summit to Barafu Camp will take approximately 2-3 hrs.

The benefit of choosing Option #1 would be that you will be reaching the summit in the mid-afternoon around 2-3 PM. There will be very few climbers at the summit, giving you the freedom to take as many pictures as you wish. There is no rush to leave the summit (like a typical sunrise summit, which usually has many other companies and tourists waiting to take their photos).

Congratulations on reaching the Roof of Africa – Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m)!

➡️Option #2: After having lunch, relax the rest of the day and spend the night at Crater Camp. You will then be making your ascent to the summit at sunrise the next day.

📍DAY 8: SUMMIT DAY

Option #1 Continued: Wake up at Barafu Camp (15,239ft or 3,983m) and continue making our descent to our next camp – Mweka Camp (10,204ft or 3,110 m). Overnight at Mweka Camp. This portion takes approximately 4-5 hrs.

➡️Option 2 Continued: Wake up at Crater Camp (18,800ft or 5,730 m) and begin making your ascent to Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m). This takes approximately 1.5 hrs.

Congratulations on reaching Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m). Spend a few minutes taking pictures and savouring the accomplishment of climbing to the Roof of Africa.

After reaching the summit, you will begin to make your descent via the Eastern Side of Mt Kilimanjaro to Mweka Camp (10,204ft or 3,110 m). This descent portion takes approximately 6-8 hrs.

📍DAY 9: MWEKA GATE & OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE

After breakfast, we continue to climb down to Mweka Gate (5,423ft or 1,653m) where we sign the Official Kilimanjaro National Park Register, have a cold drink, and get presented our official Kilimanjaro Certificate by our Head Guide.

This last descent to the gate should take approximately 3-4 hrs.

We then head to our bus and head back to the Hotel in Arusha. This drive takes approximately 3 hrs. You should be arriving back at the hotel in the mid-afternoon around 3 PM (depending what time you leave your camp in the morning).

PARE MOUNTAIN AND LAKE JIPE

Pare Mountains And Lake Jipe

Welcome

About 2 hours driving distance from Moshi, the remote and wild Northern Pare Mountains offer a great opportunity for hiking off-the-beaten-path. The drive is very bumpy in places but offers many lovely views of the surrounding countryside, and you’ll pass through many small villages along the way.

Lake Jipe offers a great spectacle for wildlife wonderers. Hippos and crocodiles can be seen crossing the lake. On the Kenyan side, herds of zebras and elephant can be observed grassing at the plains of Tsavo National Park. A very special experience is to watch the elephants swim across the lake in the dry season (from late June to October). This lake offers a quintessentially off beaten path experience for adventurers looking to be in contact with local people and experience their life style.

Enjoy a wooden canoe tour with the local fishermen at Lake Jipe.

A perfect combination is to hike the Pare Mountains on the first day and to enjoy a canoe tour during the second day.

FLOWERS OF KILIMANJARO

PLANTS OF MOUNT KILIMANJARO

What Plants and Trees Will I See on Mount Kilimanjaro?
Climbing through the five ecosystems of Mount Kilimanjaro rewards trekkers with a visual display of brilliant and unique plant life. There are flowers, plants and trees that you can find in no other part of the world but here. In this article, we show you some of the most striking, strange and common flora you will find on the mountain.
Everlasting Flowers
​These flowers (Helichrysum meyeri- johannis) are very common on Kilimanjaro at elevations between 8,000 to 15,000 feet. It is the highest flowering plant on the mountain. They are known as everlasting flowers because they can bloom year round. This herbaceous perennial grows in clumps and can reach almost two feet tall.
The everlastings here have a yellowish-brown shade, with lemon-scented, pale white leaves. The leaf, stem and flower structure helps these plants survive the dry and frosty climate of the mountain.

Protea Kilimandscharica
Proteas were named after the Greek god Proteus, son of Poseidon, who had the ability to transform himself into many different shapes. These plants are known for their unusually shaped, delicate flowers.
Protea Kilimandscharica is found in the heath ecological zone on Mount Kilimanjaro. Also called sugarbushes, proteas are considered to be among the oldest of flowering plants.

Stoebe Kilimandscharica
Stoebe is a genus of African plants in the daisy family. The shrub has slender, wiry branches are covered with small leaves which are pressed to the stem. The flowerheads are located at the ends of the main shoots.
Stoebes are very hardy even invasive plants that are extremely hard to eradicate.

Red Hot PokerThe red hot poker, also know as a torch lily, is a showy and dramatic plant. A member of the liliaceae family, these drought and heat tolerant perennials flourish in the arid areas of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The flowers are a bright orange and yellow, resembling blazing hot metal that has been removed from a forge.

Lobelia Deckenii
Lobelia deckenii is a giant lobelia found only in the high mountains of East Africa, between 12,000 to 15,000 feet. The lobelia grow up to 10 feet high, have hollow stems, and tall flower-like spikes.
This plant has an incredible ability to combat cold. It closes its leaves at night to protect its central core. Leaf rosettes around the stem hold reservoirs of water that freeze into cubicles every night. This layer of ice further protects the core of the plant.

Hebenstretia
Dentata Hebenstretia Dentana is a long-flowering, summer perennial with masses of small white flowers. It’s known as the “white flowering plant.” This perennial forms bushy clumps up to two feet high.
Pure white flowers form along the top of the upright stems which branch at the base. The flowers from early summer to late autumn.


Fireball Lily
The vivid plant is also known as the African Blood Lily. The spectacular flowerhead is a large spherical mass can grow to a diameter of 9 inches wide and is made of up tp 200 tiny florets. Each plant will produce one flowerhead in a season.
The bulbs are toxic if ingested. The extract is used to make poison tip arrows and fishing poison.

Dendrosenecio Kilimanjari
Dendrosenecio Kilimanjari is a giant groundsel found only on Kilimanjaro. These unusual plants inhabit the middle altitudes on the Shira Plateau and around Barranco Camp Dendrosenecio Kilimanjari is slow growing but can reach a height of 20 feet high.
The groundsel has remarkable adaptations for living in the alpine environment. The old dead leaves fold over the trunk to give it insulation. The pith of the stem stores water. Special fluids are secreted that give it resilience to freezing. And like the Lobelia Deckenii its leaves close when it gets cold to keep the frosty air out.

Tussock
Tussock are a group of grass species that grow as singular plants in bunches, rather than forming a sod or lawn. They have long roots that may reach deep into the soil and can obtain more moisture than other grasses and plants during periods of drought.
The tussock grasses of Mount Kilimanjaro provide habitat and food for insects, birds, and small animals.

Old Man’s Beard
Usnea is a genus of pale grayish-green lichens that grow on bark or twigs of host trees. The shrub-like lichen hangs in clumps resembling white hair, thus its common name, old man’s beard. Lichen is not a plant, although it is often mistaken for one. It is a combination of algae and fungi that grow together symbiotically.
The plant body of usnea is used to make medicine for weight loss, pain, fever, and wound healing.
