ABOUT GICLÉE PRINTING
What's the difference between digital printing and giclée printing? Giclée printing is one of the best print reproduction methods available, and allows us to provide a quality product that is guaranteed to not fade for over 100 years. It is a process that uses a specialized 12 color inkjet printer, acid free papers, and pigment based archival inks. Digital inkjet printing is a more cost-effective option for those who love the artwork but are not ready to invest in an archival-quality print.

FRAMES
All four print sizes come solely on the acid-free paper. Mats and frames are not included. It is strongly recommended to withhold frame purchases until after print is received, so as to precisely measure the print for the correct frame size, as slight variation in actual size may occur.

SHIPPING
Every print is shipped via USPS with tracking and insurance.

RETURN POLICY
Full refund if returned in original condition within 14 days. Buyer must contact vis Etsy messages prior to return, and pay return shipping.


Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is one of the most popular mountains in the world, and each year, some 30,000 climbers make an attempt to reach the Kibo summit called Uhuru Peak, which means freedom in Swahili, the mountain's highest summit. Mount Kilimanjaro, also known as a "walk-up" mountain, is 750,000 years old, and is a dormant volcano. This is the highest mountain in Africa at 19,330 feet, rising above the jungle plains, and is the world's highest free-standing mountain. There are six main routes ascending up the slopes of Kilimanjaro: Shira, Lemosho, Machame, Umbwe, Rongai, and Marangu.

Diverse vegetation graces the slopes of the mountain. Mount Kilimanjaro can be separated into five different climate zones, each with its own unique fauna and flora. In the subtropical lowland area, located just above the Serengeti plains, vegetation is dominated by banana and coffee, among other plants grown as cash crops. Between 9,200 feet and 13,100 feet, plant species are limited to groundsels, lobelias, heather, and tree moss. In the alpine or high desert area, few plants such as sage grass, helichrysum flowers, moss, and thistles are common. Few to no plants exist on the summit, which is an arid zone with intense snow and ice forming large glaciers.

Known as the "Tourist Route," Marangu Route is the most popular route on the mountain, and is the only one that features sleeping huts. It is the easiest route, and can take five days to complete its 50 miles. Dubbed the "Whiskey Route," the Machame Route is 37 miles and offers great vistas of Kilimanjaro, with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, Lava Tower, and the Great Barranco Wall.

The first portion of the Shira Route is not hiked, but driven to the Shira gate, located at 11,500 feet. It is a varied and beautiful route, totaling 33 miles. Lemosho Route is a small-crowd route, a journey of 43 miles of spectacular panoramic mountain vistas. It is a relatively flat hike crossing the entire plain from west to east.

Umbwe Route is one of the most difficult because it is a constant vertical slope. It is 32 miles, but offers dramatic views of the mountain. Rongai, otherwise known as Loitokitok, is the longest route at 49 miles, passing through wilderness areas. Kilimanjaro is the ultimate mountaineer's dream.
