Mount Kilimanjaro Has New Sign on the Summit
January 17, 2012 / By: Erika
TweetMount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, has a new sign at the summit:
That compares to the old one, which is pictured here with long-time Zephyr travelers Rick and Tony:
I have to admit: I sort of like the old, battered sign! It's weather-beaten look seems appropriate for hard climb that gets one to the "roof of Africa". However, I am sure the new sign will grow on me. I look forward to standing underneath it on our next tour to Tanzania when we'll have the chance to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro!
The photo links are broken
Thanks for catching that, everything has been fixed!
The old sign was iconic and immediately recognizable in addition to being quite fitting. I think they threw away part of the Kilimanjaro brand. The new sign has all the appeal of a highway sign! Of course now that I have to update my obsolete summit photos!
