Trekking Mt Kilimanjaro, Meru and Oldoinyo lengai

MT. KILIMANJARO: is the crown of Tanzania. Rising abruptly from the open plains, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, it is 19,344 feet (5985m), it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest walk able summit in the world. The diameter of its base is an incredible 40 miles.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.

MOUNT MERU: is an active stratovolcano located 70 kilometres (43 mi) west of Mount Kilimanjaro in the nation of Tanzania. At a height of 4,565 metres (14,977 ft), it is visible from Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day, and is the ninth or tenth highest mountain in Africa, dependent on definition. Much of its bulk was lost about 8,000 years ago due to an eastward volcanic blast, similar to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the U.S. state of Washington. Mount Meru most recently had a minor eruption in 1910. The several small cones and craters seen in the vicinity probably reflect numerous episodes of volcanic activity.
