ImageWe all have challenges we face…

The part of this climb that sets it apart from other Kilimanjaro treks is we are designing into the process an opportunity for each of us to learn more about the entire group in advance. That includes the Africans who will be helping us on the mountain.

 

 WHAT I REMEMBER MOST? 

So many times we have seen people engage in an event with the accomplishment being the motivating force.  Yet at the end of the day, and in the years to come, the most meaningful  and most powerful memories are from the relationships that developed as part of accomplishing that event.

ImageTHIS CLIMB IS ALSO ABOUT:

  •  Having your African Guide share with you what life is like below you, in the rest of Africa.
  • Connecting to the African world by learning a few basic ways to communicate in the local language.
  • Sharing how your experience relates to the lives of those who are helping you climb Kilimanjaro.
  • Being part of a world community and contemplating how our lives affect and are affected by those on another continent.
  • Eating some local foods. Some treks never ever eat things that are a basic part of the local diet.
  • Opportunities to learn more about ways to help improve our world by sharing with the people you will meet.

WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!
