Architecture
Kilimanjaro. Looking east to Mount Kilimanjaro, flying over Tanzania from Joburg to Nairobi. Kilimanjaro is a spectacular extinct volcano and is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. I was hoping to get a unique view, and this is different to the usual photos taken from Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
