You can climb Kilimanjaro and summit without having any snow at the summit or you can be lucky and have an experience like us. written by evans mwangi
The African lion is fabled as the King of the African Jungle. On my recent assignment to the Maasai Mara game reserve in Kenya, I was awed at the sheer respect that the African lion commands. It was one of the most rewarding experiences in all my wildlife safari assignment.

Kilimanjaro is in the North of Tanzania and sits on the border of Kenya but this great mountain is wholly in Tanzania. The most popular routes starting in the villages of Marangu or Machame; Kilimanjaro sits in a national park and this park is controlled by the Tanzanian Government; this necessitates being in Tanzania to begin the climb. written by ian williamson
This is one area in Africa where huge Elephant Bulls, more than 50 years old, carrying huge tusk, are regularly seen. These bulls are part of family units and are permanently in this area.

This Village on Mount Kilimanjaro is not for tourists. This is for your hardened traveler. Someone who wants to see a place untouched by commercialization; unspoiled and clean; a place that has magic and something to share. Tourist by definition tend to rush from one place to the next not really experiencing anything; not seeing anything. One destination blurring into the next; everything beginning to look the same, yesterday the same as today which will be the same as tomorrow. written by ian williamson
That evening as the sun waned we drove to the top of a large hill just outside the camp. We watched the sun begin to set then the clouds cleared around Kilimanjaro and the snows were turned pink with the setting sun, and bellow the acacia trees were silhouetted as the dusk seemed to rise from the ground upward. Then as I though it gets no better than this the Maasai from the lodge came dancing and singing up the hill – they brought champagne as this was to be my last evening. We toasted a most enjoyable stay and the staff and Philemon sang Maasai songs and danced into the early evening. If ever I was in Africa proper it was this evening. Not a tourist or car in sight, Kilimanjaro and local Maasai, words cannot express the emotions of that evening; you cannot have a more African experience than to spend some time in this luxury, eco friendly camp. written by ian williamson
I see many items on the internet about the ‘Kilimanjaro song’ – many climbers wanting the words for the song as it brings back memories for them. Good memories of the hard slog to the summit of Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. There is another side to this song; the porters who sing this song have their own storey. What follows is the porter’s song, in this case Marco’s song. These are his own words... written by ian williamson

The surrounding short grass plains provide the setting for the most spectacular natural phenomenon in the continent of Africa, the wildebeest migration, during which time the hordes amass around the camp for the birthing of their young written by ian williamson
Every year a small number of tourists die climbing Kilimanjaro. What action should one take to avoid altitude sickness? written by ian williamson
This is not a tourist destination. There are no trials for the tourists, no curios, and no young people wanting to give you a guided tour for a small fee. I take only a very few of our guests here who have a day to spare; who want to see the real Africa and it is especially good for people who want to get out of the vehicle because they are tired of sitting and they want to stretch their legs. written by ian williamson
Many visitors come and leave Tanzania without knowing that they are able to help the communities to which they visit. The poverty is so great, the corruption out of control the mission appears insurmountable; a task, we think, that should be left to the international charities who know best written by ian williamson
