  • Life-giving streams fertilized and watered lower mountain slopes, providing an ideal environment for early man to develop from nomadic hunter-gatherer to settled farmer, building villages and developing a cohesive society. Apart from a few stone bowls, you will find no traces of these early settlements on trek tours of Kilimanjaro.

      Early man thrived in this ideal environment as he transitioned from a nomadic hunter-gatherer to a sedentary farmer, creating villages and a coherent society. Life-giving streams fertilized and watered lower mountain slopes. On Kilimanjaro trek excursions, you won't see any remnants of these early communities except than a few stone bowls.

  • In 1849, missionary Johann Rebmann, published an account that was not believed. Kilimanjaro became part of a German Protectorate in 1885. Hans Meyer was the first European to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to reach the summit of Kibo in October of 1889. At this point, it was actually described as “The highest mountain in Germany”! The German colonial government made Mount Kilimanjaro a game reserve together with its surrounding forests until it was allocated to the British as a Protectorate under the League of Nations until Tanzanian Independence in 1961.

      Johann Rebmann, a missionary, published an unverified report in 1849. In 1885, the German Protectorate annexed Kilimanjaro. In October 1889, Hans Meyer became the first European to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro and reach the peak of Kibo. It was literally referred to at this point as "The highest mountain in Germany"! Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding forests were designated a game reserve by the German colonial administration before being given to the British as a Protectorate under the League of Nations until Tanzanian Independence in 1961.

      This region, which included the entire tropical forest and several species discovered during a Mt. Kilimanjaro climbing field trip, was added to the list of United Nations World Heritage Sites in 2005. The native Chagga people still cultivate the lower slopes. It is interesting that it was viewed as the United State's world heritage site even though it is not in the U.S
  • mongst these were said to be the aboriginal Wakonyingo: Bantu dwarf pygmies of mythical stature, credited variously with tails, large heads, magical powers and the ability to live close to heaven at the top of mountains. The Umbo tribe, driven out themselves from Usambara Mountains, may have been responsible for the disappearance of the Wakonyingo.

      The Wakonyingo were described as Bantu dwarf pygmies of mythical proportions, with tails, big heads, magical abilities, and the capacity to live near heaven at the tops of mountains. The Wakonyingo may have vanished because the Umbo tribe, whom they had driven from the Usambara Mountains, was to blame.
  • The Chagga now form one of Tanzania’s largest, richest, best refined and most powerful ethnic groups, possibly because of the fertility of their homelands combined with their contact with early German colonialists and missionaries whose travel in Africa provided the Chagga with education and opportunities to embrace the Western culture.

      The Chagga are currently one of Tanzania's largest, wealthiest, most civilized, and powerful ethnic groups, perhaps as a result of the abundance of their native lands and the early German colonists and missionaries who traveled through Africa and gave the Chagga access to education and opportunities to adopt Western culture.
  • edicine men practiced animal and even human sacrifice with elaborate rituals for purifying people who had been the target of curses or malicious magic. They practiced circumcision, puberty rituals, elaborate levels of burial rites depending on the status of the deceased, and brides were coached to put on appropriate weight before carrying them to their husbands.
  • heir wealth is now based on banana and coffee plantations, but they no longer accept barter payment in beads and cloth.

      The Chagga people are reach/wealthy because of their plantations. And i think it is good that they do not accept barter payment as in a way bartering was not a good thing.

  • as been made, as should have been done, in regard to the name of Wilkes Land. Americans are a patriotic people, their conduct in the present world war shows it, but, in regard to geographical discoveries outside of the United States made by Americans, they seem too inert and too indifferent to assert themselves and to back up their own sons. Among the geographical discoveries by Americans which are too much neglected at home are those made in Africa. And yet in the closing period of the "age of discovery," in which the secrets of the so-called Dark Continent were revealed, three Americans, Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, Charles Chaille-Long, and Arthur Donaldson Smith, and one An

      Americans are a patriotic nation, as evidenced by their behavior during the current world war, but they appear too apathetic and inactive to assert themselves and support their own sons when it comes to geographical discoveries made outside of the United States. Africa is one of the continents where Americans have produced geographical discoveries that are far too underappreciated at home. Yet in the final years of the "age of discovery," when the mysteries of the so-called Dark Continent were revealed, four Americans-Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, Charles Chaille-Long, Arthur Donaldson Smith, and Henry M. Stanley-and one Anglo-American-put the majority of the Congo's course on a map and established the existence of an African pygmy race.
