As our vehicle wound its way from Ngrongoro National Park toward Arusha, the majestic silhouette of Mount Meru emerged dramatically at the horizon’s edge. The final photographs in my collection were captured during that breathtaking flight from Tanzania to Ethiopia, where our skilled pilot treated us to an unforgettable aerial ballet—circling halfway around this natural wonder.
Through the aircraft windows, the glistening glaciers crowning the summit came into view, sparkling like diamonds against the African sky. Known as the continent’s highest peak and the equator’s sole snow-capped mountain, no title could truly capture the overwhelming sense of wonder that washed over me during this encounter with nature’s grandeur.
Arusha, Tanzania – Where the earth touches the sky
The glaciers on Kilimanjaro are truly stunning, especially when seen from above. It’s amazing how ice can survive near the equator despite the heat.
