If you’re an animal lover, then maybe you should try hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. Indeed, wildlife such as the bush baby, aardvark, and colobus monkey live on the mountain. Here are a few more fascinating creatures you might witness while hiking Kilimanjaro.
Duiker
You can find the duiker in heavily wooded areas in Africa. It may look like a tiny deer but it’s actually a brown African antelope that’s small to medium in size. This animal usually displays a hunched back, small horns, and a somewhat meek manner. Duikers have large eyes that can be strikingly beautiful and serene, sort of like an alien deer.
White-Necked Raven
The white-necked raven is anything but an ordinary bird. In fact, it may seem to exude a dark energy that could be intimidating to passersby. It does have white on the back of its neck but the rest of its body including its beak is black.
Serval Cat
As an African native and wild cat, the serval is recognizable by its short tail, long neck, long legs, large ears, distinctive spots, and small head. Although the serval may have a weird-looking body, this is what helps them hunt better. Indeed, one serval can eat about 4,000 rodents a year.
All things considered, hiking Kilimanjaro can give you a chance to see some of the world’s most interesting critters. Not only this but you’ll have the opportunity to improve your overall health and well-being. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a real experience that awaits you.
