    ONE OF SEVEN

    ONE OF SEVEN natural wonders of Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro is a site to be seen. Known for it's breathtaking views and distinct vegetation zones ranging from cultivated lands of coffee and maize at the base, to rainforests, moorland, alpine desert, and the ice cap at the summit.

    The great part is, even a novice hiker can complete the task of climbing to the summit. It is definitively not a stroll in the park, but a little hard work will afford an experience of a lifetime. 11.7 can help you get to the summit before the ice cap receeds furthur and the once legenendary glacier is gone.
