A similar event is being organized to attract people across Tanzania, Africa, and the rest of the world.
This event will be to trek and then conquer the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro early in December of this year – 2021.
This will coincide with marking 60 years of Tanzania’s independence in a way that makes a difference.
Climbers this time are going to send a message of hope from the “Roof of Africa” that Tanzania and other African nations are safer for travel at this time when COVID-19 vaccinations are taking place almost all over the continent.
When Tanzania lit the famous “Freedom Torch” on the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro 60 years ago, it symbolically meant to shine across the borders and then bring hope for the whole of Africa where there was despair, love where there was enmity, and respect where there was hatred.
But for this year, climbers to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro are going to send a message of hope that Tanzania is a safe destination for visitors and also that Africa is now safe for travel after several governments on this continent have taken various measures to contain the pandemic.
Campaigns to attract people from different parts of Africa and the world to conquer this highest peak of Africa are a part of the celebrations to mark 60 years of Tanzania independence on December 9 of this year, as the world is slowly emerging from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
