In February 2005 I went to Africa with my brother, his friend Steve and my neighbour Bill. We went to climb Kilimanjaro with Explore. After the climb we went on a safari in Arusha National Park before flying on to Zanzibar for a few days.
The climb was fairly steady up to Kibo Hut at 16000 feet, it is the last climb to the summit that is probably the hardest thing I will ever do!!!
16 of us set off from Marangu gate, 15 of us set off from Kibo hut and 10 of us made it to the top!!
It was the best sunrise I will ever see.
The safari was fun seeing animals "at home."
Zanzibar was great, white sand and hot sun on the east coast then a night on the west in Stonetown - Freddie Mercurys birthplace!! It was wild.
