Luxembourg to Kilimanjaro
A trip to the roof of Africa.
More than a best-of gallery: the travel, the gates, the camps, the porters, the waiting, the cold, the summit, the descent, Moshi, and the way home.

The line before the story opens
The route clip gives the climb a physical shape before the photo essay slows down into individual moments: distance, elevation, camps and the gradual approach to Uhuru Peak.
Soundtrack
Jambo Bwana
The welcome song often heard around East African travel and Kilimanjaro trips is “Jambo Bwana” by Them Mushrooms. For the public version of this blog, we should keep it legal and link to the official sources rather than downloading the audio.

Guides: Regis and Marwan. Crew names recorded from the trip:
