I first set eyes on Kilimanjaro across the Kenyan plains in 1999 – it quite simply took my breath away and I knew I’d be back one day to ‘tackle’ the summit.  I had never done anything like this before.  We set off on the night of the summit, a step at a time. The sunrise was like no other sunrise I’d experienced before, the contrast of volcanic sand, ice caps, brilliant blue skies, warm orange glow from the sun and low cloud beneath us was truly stunning. Reaching the summit was such an achievement that it really took over a month to sink in. An incredible experience with wonderful people, and memories that will stay with me forever.  It is truly a celebration of good health and satisfaction of being able to give back and contribute towards the research for a cure for leukaemia.

An ascent using the Rongai Route
Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing volcano in the world. Kibo, the central crater, rests on its two sisters Mawenzi and Shira and at 5896m (19,344ft) dominates the game filled Kenyan plains to the North as well as the fertile lands around Arusha, Tanzania in the South.

Ascending by the Rongai Route gives you the opportunity of climbing a less trodden route, awarding spectaculars view of the plains below as you ascend this dramatic peak, and meeting very few people on the ascent.
