Kilimanjaro Morning
Artist
Anthony Mwangi
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Located 20km into the Tanzanian side of the border, the mountain has fuelled acrimony among tour operators from the two countries; who equally market it as one of the main attractions in their respective nations.
But the incredible irony is that while tourists can only climb Kilimanjaro from Tanzania, they have to visit Kenya’s Amboseli National Park to get a perfect view of the mountain. This is coupled with a belief that Kilimanjaro belonged to Kenya but Queen Victoria, then the monarch of the United Kingdom, gave it to her grandson, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, as a birthday gift in 1886.
I don’t know how true that story is, but I would suggest we leave the poor mountain alone and continue enjoying it since it is not moving anywhere any time soon. It doesn’t belong to Kenya or Tanzania anyway. It belongs to the creator! Long live Mount Kilimanjaro!
