At the foot of the snow-covered peak of Kilimanjaro lies a marvelous display of nature's diversity. Savanna and jungle landscapes are all mixed together, while a mighty river winds like a fast-moving snake through the rain forest. Up to four expeditions are trying to make their way through this treacherous landscape. But who can be sure which method of transport will be quickest? Canoes along the river, riding stubborn mules through the jungle, on foot armed with a machete, or by jeep along the storm ravaged tracks? If you want to be first to the base camp at the foot of Kilimanjaro, then you must be prepared to organize your trip so as to use all of these, each where they are best suited.
