Another fire has just erupted on Mount Kilimanjaro in Northern Tanzania.
This second outbreak of raging flames on top of Africa’s highest peak occurs only three weeks after the first eruption on Kili.
Official reports from the Tanzania National Parks, the custodian of Kilimanjaro, indicate that the fresh fire outbreak on the mountain started from the Sangarini escarpments along the Kamwanga elevation, towards the Shira plateau.
The Shira Plateau is located on the western side of Kilimanjaro and is an elevated highland mesa that spans over 40 square kilometers and which is believed to be the remnants of an ancient crater on the mountain.
The Shira Plateau lies at an altitude of 3,800 meters and usually offers a chance for acclimatization before reaching the higher altitudes on the mountain.
It being believed that the fire razing that part could have erupted in the night of Sunday, the 27th of September 2026 or very early hours of Monday, the 28th of September 2026 but already teams of fire fighters have been dispatched to the Kilimanjaro National Park.
And just like during the previous incident, Mountain Climbing and other tourism activities on Kilimanjaro will not be affected, by the new outbreak, at least this is according to the Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) management.
However, with rains already starting to fall on most parts of Tanzania, including the country’s Northern Zone, it is being hoped that the fire will not last long.
Meanwhile as another round of bush fires is being reported on Mount Kilimanjaro, the Aberdare’s National Park of Kenya is also said to be on fire, with raging hot flames terrorizing various parts of the wildlife-filled conservancy.
This is also the second time that fire is breaking out at the Aberdare’s Forest National Park in Kenya within just a month.
The parts of Aberdare that are currently on fire include Mwanda, Kina-ini, Dedan Kimathi Ward and Tetu.
During the previous outbreak, the fire had reduced to smoldering amber and ashes more than 200 acres of the National Park, according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
