Kilima­njaro's Uhuru Peak become­s K-P darede­vil's latest conque­stKARACHI : Not content with scaling dizzying heights in her homeland, daredevil extraordinaire Samar Khan recently took her game to the global stage, becoming the first Pakistani woman to climb world famous Mount Kilimanjaro’s Uhuru Peak —the highest peak in Africa and located in Tanzania. And as those who know her know that no Samar climb is complete without her riding her beloved bike on her newly scaled peak. “I wanted to take the green flag at a global level to show the world what Pakistanis are capable of,” Samar told The Express Tribune. “As Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak (5,895 meters) and a dormant volcano so it seemed the best target for me to ride my bicycle on,” she said. “This was made possible with the help of my supporters not only in Pakistan but also in Africa,” she said.
