Geographical Feature on Mahale Park </h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">Mahale Mountains National Park (1 613 km2)
is about 128 km south of Kigoma Town, and forms a peninsula that juts out into
Lake Tanganyika. Its centre lies 6°00’ – 6°28’ S and 29°43’ – 30°60’ E.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">The western boundary of the park protects
not only the lakeshore but also an adjacent 1.6 km-wide strip of Lake
Tanganyika’s waters. The Park’s terrain is mostly rugged and hilly, and is
dominated by the Mahale Mountains chain that runs from the northwest to the
southeast across the park. The highest peak is 2,462 m a.s.l.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">There are two seasons in the park.
Generally, the dry season starts in mid-May and ends in mid-October with a
maximum mean temperature of 31°C. The rainy season lasts from mid-October until
mid-May. During both seasons, temperatures can fluctuate, particularly between
day and night. The annual rainfall ranges between 1 500 and 2 500 mm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the KiChagga word for "white," it is becoming increasingly less

year and about three-quarters of those reach the summit. It is a relatively
safe climb, and most climbers who fail to summit experience altitude-related
issues or harsh weather near the peak. Temperatures at the peak can be 0
degrees F (minus 18 C), and if the winds are blowing, the wind chills reach
dangerous levels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Access to Katavi via ground transportation: estimates vary widely; it is generally discussed not in hours but in days. The town of Mbeya is (550 km/340 miles) distant and is described as a "...tough but spectacular..." drive;</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Google Maps indicates that Mbeya is 838 km from Dar es Salaam, making the total distance approximately 1,400 km (870 mi) and requiring 20+ hours. The most direct route to Dar es Salaam as per Google Maps</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> is approx. 1250 km (~800 miles) and requiring 16+ hours. Arusha is similarly distant: 1000+km /13.5 hours. The percentage of transit on unpaved surfaces is unknown, but parts of all of these routes will definitely be on dirt roads. Since all of the above times from Google Maps assume an average transit speed of 80 km (50 mph), all these indicated travel times should be considered to be optimistic.</span><br />
