High-speed internet services have been installed on the slopes of Africa’s tallest mountain as the Tanzanian Government embraces the power of social media. The 5,895-metre Mount Kilimanjaro is a key source of tourism revenue for Tanzania, with around 35,000 people trekking to the peak each year. Authorities say the mountain’s lack of internet connectivity posed a danger to visitors and porters, but the new upgrade also means social media-savvy tourists can document every step of their ascent. So far, internet services on Kilimanjaro cover up to an altitude of 3,720 metres, but Information Minister Nape Nnauye said the mountain’s summit should be fully connected by the end of the year. Because if it didn’t happen to social media, did it even happen?
