Flying over Mt. Kilimanjaro

 

 

Flying south from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam affords one the opportunity to see Mt. Kilimanjaro from the airplane. If one is landbound, on a normal day the peak hides behind the clouds during the day and can most frequently be seen in the mornings or the evenings. Thus an aerial view gives fantastic views of the peak. Flights coming from Europe also tend to fly over the mountain and it's an uplifting feeling to peer out the window and see the tallest mountain in Africa.
