Tanzania installs internet on Mount Kilimanjaro for Insta-ascents

DAR ES SALAAM, Aug 17 — Tanzania has installed high-speed internet services on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, allowing anyone with a smartphone to tweet, Instagram or WhatsApp their ascent up Africa’s highest mountain.

“Previously, it was a bit dangerous for visitors and porters who had to operate without internet,” Nnauye said at the launch of the service, flanked by government officials and tourists. He said the summit of the 5,895-metre mountain would have internet connectivity by the end of the year. Mount Kilimanjaro is an important source of tourism revenue in Tanzania and neighbouring Kenya, with around 35,000 people attempting to summit it each year.
