Kilimanjaro makes you feel on top of the world
Having scaled the likes of Ben Nevis and Snowdon, budding mountaineers from the UK are left with little else to achieve within the shores of Great Britain. I think that once these have been mastered, any serious climber worth his or her salt must seriously consider the next natural step to satisfy their need for a challenge.
I have found that Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania certainly fits the bill. While trekking to the top of the highest points in the UK is decent enough practice, there is little to prepare you for the sheer size of the African landmark. Not being the most gifted athlete, I thought that maybe I had bitten off more than I could chew when I attempted to scale the monstrous peak.
However, thankfully those who had embarked on this path before me had stumbled across what is now called the Rongai route, which offers a far more comfortable (although still challenging) passage to the summit than the Machame route. Even though the more seasoned adventurers may relish the latter, I was quite happy to settle for the easier, but equally scenic walk.
Few places around the world can offer the same thrill as this Tanzanian hotspot. Many tourists, myself included, combine their trip up the tallest peak in Africa with a bit of safari-based fun. With the Serengeti in close proximity, it is hard to think of another destination that can appeal to wildlife and nature lovers as much as this.
Yes, it is far from easy and of course you need to have a certain level of fitness to even consider tackling the great Kilimanjaro, but I can assure you the rewards for laying off the chocolate, pizza and chips are immense. The feeling once you reach the top of the snow-capped mountain is hard to describe, but those who have claimed in the past that the experience changed their lives for the better tend not to be exaggerating.
