We were at the 9300 foot level in Kenya driving down A104, the main road from Mombasa on the coast, through Nairobi and on to Uganda.
The photo is, of course, of Kilimanjaro. Not my photo. I spent several weeks in Tanzania flying ornithologists working with the UN Desert Locust Control organization, looking for Quelea nesting sites. We covered about 1/4 of Tanzania, flying much of the time at 50' AGL in order to spot the bird's nests. I was based in Nairobi and flew into Tanzania via the Kilimanjaro airport each trip.
Here is another family's photo (internet search- our photo of the family at this sign is buried in a shoebox somewhere) of the sign where the highway crosses the Equator. This is about 5 miles SE of the spot where we had the snowball fight. BTW, when the first European explorers to see Kilimanjaro told of its snow covered summit, they were dismissed as suffering sunstroke. "Snow cannot exist that close to the Equator!" I would not be surprise if some think we suffered from sunstroke, talking about a snowball fight in Kenya!
