It was predicted that the snows of Kilimanjaro would vanish by 2020…but look at what’s happened
Kilimanjaro’s snow hat is perfectly on its head – that is on its dome-shaped Kibo also dubbed the roof of Africa because at 19,340 feet high, it’s the continent’s highest point.
Late March and the first surprise after leaving Diani famous for its powder white beach and blue warm water on Kenya’s South Coast was the mist covered peaks of Shimba Hills. It was surreal watching from the ridge of the escarpment as the mist rose, warming up to the rising sun.
