Kilimanjaro, all programs »
The ascent was great, we not only climbed to the highest free-standing mountain of the Earth, but also walked around the crater and touched the disappearing glaciers of Kilimanjaro. In total, in new year's eve, during the ascent, we spent more than 4 hours at a height of 5700-5895 meters. That is undoubtedly due to our wonderful guides Urio and Wiesen. They were able to acclimatized us to prepare us for this — we have not filled any symptoms of altitude sickness.
We sang and danced at the top, drank champagne, and got just a wonderful experience and memories. We'll miss that mountain and our team consisting of 15 cute, fun and professional guys whom we called Kaka, that is, brothers.
