Where is This in Africa?
Tuesday June 30, 2009
The summit of this beautiful volcano is called "socialist peak". It takes about 3 days to get to the top which makes it a perfect practice run for those looking to hike up its close neighbor, Mount Kilimanjaro. The main trail passes through plains filled with wildlife, ancient rain forests of fig trees, and finally some rocky moors sometimes dusted with snow. Along the the trail, buffaloes, baboons and giraffes are commonly sighted as well as hundreds of species of birds.

Anouk, I think you can also go up the back side of the mountain, and reach the peak and get down before dusk. Most take the long way around though, as you speak about. Great view and example of an ash cone, especially seen from the top.
