The surrounding plains are known as Kilimanjaro National Park and is home to one of Africa’s greatest game parks.

Elephants, Zebra, Giraffe, Lion and Gazelle are only a few of the magnificent beasts who call the park their home. Many visitors come to the park to climb the mountain which offers great challenges to the climber with steep peaks and one of the few places in Africa which experience ice and snow.
