I felt safe, cared for and succeeded in reaching the summit thanks to the expert guides in the team.
I summited Mount Kilimanjaro with the help of McNoel G Ngoye, a guide who has a great attitude and a constant smile.
I wanted to do something special for my 50th birthday and my experience in Tanzania will stay with me for the rest of my life and the whole team, including the guides, porters and the chef went above and beyond to provide comfort, safety and success. The climb requires more than physical fitness, it requires mental strength and support to succeed. The team knew that and in addition to providing the right food and water, they provided the kind of support that kept you going. Jambo Bwana.
I am going to climb again for my 60th birthday and I want to go with the same team as my first climb.
