I don't really like that sort of link. http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/noClickHere

I'd be inclined to drop that sentence and move the link into the previous sentence, "The mountain that most people want to climb when they visit Tanzania is Mount Kilimanjaro." But there are lots of this sort of link in that Entry, and I think it might be beyond my remit to start this sort of wholesale change.

I'd like to change the alt tag to the picture, too. It just says ALT="Tanzanian wildlife." It should be more specific. That's a cheetah, isn't it?

TRiG.

I don't think that's beyond your remit.

Right. Changes made.

Changed again, because previous link was a redirect:

It's important that we don't interfere with the author's style, but all of these are changes to make the entry fit in with editing guidelines.

I also found a 200 Euro which is now a €200.

And I decapitalised the other two occurences of the word.
