Planting Trees At Kilimanjaro

Planting trees at Kilimanjaro – Our contribution to CO2 compensation

As an economy class passenger flying to East Africa, you will produce approximately the following amount of CO2:

  • Frankfurt to Zanzibar and back: 2.2 t
  • Oslo to Zanzibar and back: 2.5 t
  • Madrid to Zanzibar and back: 2.2 t
  • London to Zanzibar and back: 2.2 t
  • New York to Zanzibar and back: 4.2 t
  • San Francisco to Zanzibar and back: 5.7 t
  • Mumbai to Zanzibar and back: 1.5 t
  • Cape Town to Zanzibar and back: 1.3 t

One indigenous tree at Kilimanjaro can absorbe around around 2.5 tons of CO2 during the first 100 years of its life.

As an extra to your booking on zanzibar.eco you can add trees to be planted on deforested land on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. 10 trees are 10 USD.

The 10 trees can absorbe a total of 30 tons of CO2 during their expected lifespan of 150 years.

The planting is done during the rainy seasons (March/April and November) every year.
