Eco-tourism is the latest buzzword in the tourism industry. But what is it? As a traveler, you have an impact on the environment and culture of the place you are visiting. Eco-travel is environmentally responsible travel, which promotes the education and conservation of nature, and is geared towards sustaining the well-being of the local people.

An eco-tour operator has a resort or lodge that should have a minimal impact on the surrounding environment and community. Minimizing the number of trees removed from the site, and minimal disruption to wildlife should be paramount to the resort’s mentality. This allows you to be immediately surrounded by the sounds of nature while you vacation.

Imagine the sweeping vistas and beautiful scenery as you ascend the summit of Tanzania’s famous Mount Kilimanjaro. This extinct volcano is the highest peak in Africa as well as the highest walkable mountain in the world. These features make it a magnet for hikers and climbers alike. It’s a breath-taking challenge that you’ll find nowhere else in the world.

Just because Kilimanjaro is considered “walkable”, that doesn’t mean it’s an easy climb. The summit is 19,335 feet above sea level and the ascent can take between 5 and 8 days. There are several mapped routes to climb the mountain. Each trail offers varying degrees of difficulty, with Shira and Umbwe being the most difficult routes and Marangu being the easiest.
