Elders on the mountain: Epic climb up Kilimanjaro

Ahmed Jibril and his team on a recent practice climb in Ngong Hills.

At this moment, a group of people, most of them over 60, are climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to raise money for the elderly in a journey that began yesterday, August 3. The oldest is 74. We caught up with one of the organizers, Ahmed Jibril, 62, before they began the climb.

Ahmed Jibril's journey to organise a charity climb up Mount Kilimanjaro began with a deeply personal inspiration: his late mother.
