Climbing Kilimanjaro - Reaching the Rooftop of Africa

By Ruth Catallo

Climbing Kili, (as it is affectionately known), was perhaps one of the most amazing and awe inspiring experiences of my whole life. Before we embarked on the climb we read lots of really helpful reviews and accounts, so here's my two pence worth.

It was the summer of 2007 and I had itchy feet. I hadn't been on a proper adventure for about 2 years, so it was time to start planning! I've always enjoyed trekking and was desperate to visit Africa again after a wonderful trip to Namibia a few years earlier. Put the two together and 'hey presto' you get Kilimanjaro - the majestic rooftop of Africa.

The first challenge, and arguably one of the most difficult, was persuading my other half that climbing the world's highest freestanding mountain (also one of the coveted Seven Summits) was a good idea! Paul, (my other half), is less adventurous by nature and more 'grounded' than me, so I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I proposed the idea to him carefully, playing down (not mentioning) the bit about it being the world's highest freestanding mountain, and it was met with the usual "that sounds nice dear" and somewhat thankful relief that he wasn't going to be on the hook for organising our next holiday. So the trip was booked for the middle February 2008.<<more>>
