Scaling the heights of Mt Kilimambogo

Mountains like the Kilimanjaro have captivated both mountaineers and ambitious amateurs for years, and summiting this wonder remains one of the top bucket list items in the world for anyone itching for a thrilling, unrivalled high-altitude excursion, myself included. This year, I decided to finally be proactive about attaining this goal. However, as it turns out, one cannot just wake up and take a leisurely stroll up the highest mountain in Africa as though lazily reaching over on a couch to try grasp a remote that is ever so slightly out of reach. Tackling Kilimanjaro takes a lot of physical and mental preparation, and my strategy is very simple. Conquer Kilimambogo and Longonot followed by Mt Kenya before booking a highly anticipated trip to Tanzania.
