Our long-awaited Kilimanjaro trekking expedition in September 2014 required four flights and around two days of travelling from Malaysia to Moshi, Tanzania, where the mountain is. My friends (Henry and Paige) and I got our briefing from the guide, Mcdeme, the day after we arrived. It was a hot sunny day, but thankfully we reached our stop at the Shira campsite at around noon. I cried out of joy and exhaustion; I had finally achieved my dream of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in the African continent. If you are passionate about hiking and in particular, mountaineering, Mount Kilimanjaro should be on your list.
