Want to know what a Kili trek is really like?

"This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, I can’t breathe, there is no oxygen, its step and hard climbing, there are clothes in the rocks ripped from peoples bodies, 3hrs in I panic. In true Danielle style sit on a rock and tell everyone to go on without me – of course that’s not an option as our guide expertly takes my hand, calms me down and leads me up the mountain, it sounds stupid, but just having someone hold you hand makes all the difference, you don’t feel alone anymore and the air returns to your lungs." Danielle Dunbar, 2009
