After 6 months of travelling many things have happened. I saw whalesharks in Mozambique, heard lions roaring in Serengeti, smelled exotic spices in Zanzibar. Froze on the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro and sweated in the deserts of Oman. Met Xhosa people with painted faces in South Africa, sipped black tea with Pakistani workers in the Emirates and walked with Buddhist monks around stupas in Nepal...

The Snows of Kilimanjaro

March 21, 2009

Climbed Machame Route in 6 days, 5 nights. Wonderful mountain rainforest and moorlands up to 3000m. Easy hiking for 4 days. The summit day started at midnight at 4600m in Barafu Camp. Above an elevation of 5700m on the steep way to Stella Point it was really tough. But the last steps to Uhuru Peak are the reward I got. Sunrise at the highest peak of Africa with the morning sun on melting Rebman Glacier and an excellent view above the clouds. The way down is long but beautiful aswell.
My guide Jimmy from Akaro Tours in Moshi was excellent. Drop me a message for more information...
