Premium Member The Slopes of Kilimanjaro
From the lofty snowcapped peaks of Kilimanjaro The morning mist envelopes its verdant foothills in a tight embrace, No need to hurry, this is not a race, Beads of sunlight dancing across the glistening dew. As the plains of Amboseli reveal their golden hue, There's movement spied where none existed moments prior, A herd of Zebra lounging in their elegant attire, The lush...

TANZANIA'S BEAUTIFUL MONSTER
At above 16,000 feets, Stood a beautiful monster of nature.

Oh, Kilimanjaro, you're morethan just a mountain You're a beacon of wonder A symbol of grace An eternal treasure A gift for all — not just Tanzania but the world....

Kilimanjaro
Damn your rocks And slippery slopes And the ice that clings To your sides Damn the way You challenge my skill Or the way you Entice me higher Damn the sound Of your laughing clouds And the rains That beat at your heart And damn the winds And the ice and snow That hold me here And won’t let me go While I wait for the sun To set night...

The Slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro
To the many hills that provide the most beautiful scenic views To the people whose speech only provides melodic tunes of Bongo flava To the heat, that make every night a celebration To the cool waters, a swimmer's paradise, a fisherman's goldmine, a local's daily gift and a tourist's eternal camera shot To the food, a signature...

Kilimanjaro
KILIMANJARO Almost lost. Scanty ice below equator, Trackless wilderness of ice and fire. Africa’s king. I’ve climbed none higher. Kilimanjaro with majestic crater Like the long-gone dodos, - somnolent Before this white man Saw such ground of black obsidian - Kilimanjaro - not extinct,...
