The ClimbMany travel the world to experience different climates of the world not realizing what Mountain Kilimanjaro, (the tallest single standing mountain in the world), has to offer.

Ben at Uhuru Peak

Its unbelievable that one starts the journey in Moshi Town where the temperature is an average of 27 degree centigrade and ends his/her journey at Uhuru Peak where the average temperature is – 185 degrees centigrade and this is all within a distance ofthose 235 kms.

Four days, 235 kms adventure from the gate to the Uhuru Peak via the Marangu Route takes you through all the climates and vegetation that are so diversely found in the world.

Day OneThe first day takes you from the gate to Mandara Hut, where you will be hiking in the tropical rain forest surrounded by beautiful tree and vegetation.

Day 2On day two (tropical forest to semi dessert hike) is that day that you will hike from Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut. On this Day, you will not stop noticing that the more you keep walking, the more the trees keep getting shorter whilst you keep seeing vegetation that you have never seen in your life.

Day 3Day three is the dessert walk day and your day starts with a walk through a semi dessert until you reach the last water point and then hike on a dessert until you reach the Kibo hut.

Day 4Day four is the toughest one since you have only 5 hours to rest and have more than 242 kms of ascending and descending to do in one day. As much as it’s the toughest day that one can sleep whilst standing, it is still the most rewarding day of the adventure that everyone looks forward to reach the Uhuru Peak.

The adventure was of a group of 13 Tanzanians (AgathaMarie John, Aziza Semboja, Andrew Mboma, Ben Mashiba, Bingi Juma, Dorothy Kipeja, Ellen Lupili, Immaculate Stephen, Gaure Mdee, Nasra Kondo, Rita Mkama, Sarah Mmari and Sato Wasira) who were brought together by Vinjari Company (www.vinjari.co.tz) to participate in the challenge to conquer Mountain Kilimanjaro. The group was a combination of entrepreneurs and people from the cooperate sector who like living healthy and enjoys nature.

As all the people in our group were black, we werethat where awarded the name of “Kundi la Weusi” on the mountain, as our combination seemed very strange to every porter and guide on the mountain. Many asked if we were from a college/university and werehere shockedtoo astonished to find out that we were a group of Tanzanians from Dar es Salaam who simply chose the conquer the beast in our backyard. 12 People in the group made it to Kibo Hut, 5 made it to Gilman’s Point and 2 made it to the Uhuru Peak.

The group took this challenge in March 2014 with an urge of knowing what Mountain Kilimanjaro has to offer and considered the challenge to be the most amazing experience they have ever had and have vowed to be back on the mountain before the end of the year, via another route. The trip was planned and organized by Vinjari Company Limited (http://instagram.com/vinjari).
