Tourists who come to climb Kilimanjaro will be surprised by the ever-changing flora and fauna, known as the vegetation zoning, a term used to the fact that certain plants only grow to a certain extent, leading to different strips by changing height of trees, shrubs and flowering plants. Within this area there are living animals who have adapted to different heights.
