Zanzibar

Posted on June 19, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

What better way to recover from a week on the side of Mount Kilimanjaro than relax on the white sands of a tropical island? The post-Kili recovery week spent on Zanzibar was paradise! Unfortunately, paradise took a lot of travel to get to. Almost 600km down to the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam, followed by a […]

Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater

Posted on June 17, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

When I was a kid, I was utterly obsessed with animals. I was never the girl who would play with Barbies and dress up as a princess, nor was I the one who’d beat you at penalty shoot outs and constantly be climbing trees. I was the girl who could list you 25 facts about […]

Mount Kilimanjaro for AICR: Uhuru and Mweka

Posted on June 15, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

After a long four days, we were at long last going to reach Uhuru Peak! I had known all along that summit night was going to be the hardest part of this trip but I hadn’t really known what to expect. I knew the day would consist of four parts: trekking to Stella Point, walking […]

Mount Kilimanjaro for AICR: Barranco and Barafu

Posted on June 13, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

With two days already under my belt, I was feeling confident but knew things were going to get tough. I was already struggling to breathe while trying to walk at a normal pace at Shira camp. I was having to remind myself to take it slow, as just walking to the toilets left me breathless. […]

Mount Kilimanjaro for AICR: Machame and Shira

Posted on June 11, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

To say I was nervous for Africa would be the biggest understatement of my life. It wasn’t one of your bog-standard trips – it was serious adventuring. The two flights and long drive to get to Moshi, Tanzania allowed me to attempt to mentally prepare for the subsequent week on Kilimanjaro. I found myself frequently […]

Mount Kilimanjaro for AICR: A Plan of Action!

Posted on November 3, 2013November 25, 2018by Emma

While my parents and brother explore the canals of Amsterdam without me (of course I’m not jealous in the slightest…), I’ve been busy planning for Kili! This week our group had meetings with representatives from Choose a Challenge (who help organise our trip) and AICR. We’re still looking for more people to join us if […]
