Scope and Contents

Many residents have banana groves (migombani) and coffee small-holdings (vihamba) on the fertile slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. On the southern side, the mountain remains shrouded in cloud for most of the day, the snows being visible only early morning and late evening. During his trip to Tanzania, Eliot Elisofon and his crew ascended Mount Kilimanjaro. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for American Broadcasting Company and traveled to Africa from June 1966 to August 1966.
