Ok so I have been getting a lot of questions about my Kili trek and figured that this meant I should write an in-depth post and compile all my answers.
Month: September 2015
Life, Love & the Pursuit of the Big Five (Ngorongoro Crater/Conservation Area)
So we are now on the hunt…for last of the Big Five.
Life, Love & the Pursuit of Wilderness (Nomad Kuro Tarangire ~ Tarangire National Park)
So we have summited Mount Kilimanjaro but that is only part of the adventure that we seek in Tanzania: onto the safaris!
Kilimanjaro ~ September 30, 2014 ~ Day Seven
We are given certificates – it’s official that we summited Kilimanjaro! Specs for the trek: 7 day, 43 miles (69 km) and 13,043 ft (4,085 m) – highest point 19,341 ft (5,895 m). One of the seven summits! And I am able to cross this off my wanderlist…but does not even begin to abate my…

It is so beautiful and calm but doesn’t that describe every dawn? For me, this time has always signified the promise of a new day bursting with amazing potential…
Kilimanjaro ~ September 24, 2014 ~ Day One
