When is the best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Blog, Travel, When To GoSo, you’re thinking about climbing the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro? That means you’ve officially been ‘bitten’ by the ‘Kili bug’ – good on you! In turn it also means that you most probably (yes, we’re totally stereotyping here) spend every waking hour researching everything there is to know about Tanzania’s most glorious natural wonder, daydreaming about what it would feel and be like to climb the highest mountain peak in Africa and largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, and even dreaming about embarking on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure experience. It’s a yearning for the Roof of Africa. An unstoppable hunger for conquering Uhuru Peak (the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro), and a craving for the raw, real, rugged, and bucket-list adventure that ONLY a Mount Kilimanjaro climb can provide.

Facts about Elephants
Amazing Facts, Blog, Elephants, FactsElephants are one of the most iconic and incredible wildlife species found in Africa. They are known for their impressive size, with adult elephants standing up to 13 feet tall and weighing over 6,000 kilograms. Despite their size, elephants are also known for their intelligence, with the largest brain of any land animal. They exhibit complex social behaviors and have been observed showing empathy, grief, and even self-awareness. In addition, elephants are important ecosystem engineers, as they play a vital role in shaping their habitat by uprooting trees and creating waterholes that benefit other wildlife.
Despite their many impressive traits, elephants face numerous threats in Africa. Habitat loss due to human activity, poaching for their ivory tusks, and conflict with humans are all significant challenges facing elephant populations. Conservation efforts, such as protected areas and anti-poaching measures, have helped to stabilize some populations, but there is still much work to be done to ensure the long-term survival of these incredible creatures.

Although their populations have increased over the years due to conservation efforts, white rhinos still face threats from habitat loss, poaching, and illegal wildlife trade.

What To Pack When Going On Safari
Blog, Must Know Information, Travel, WildlifePacking for an African safari is vastly different than packing for just about any other trip, and it’s often a challenge for first time safari goers.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Blog, TravelLocated in the East African country of Tanzania, inside of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, just south of the Kenyan border, the famed and wildly acclaimed Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain, standing tall at a staggering +/- 5,895 meters / 19,341 feet above sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro is also the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world. This means that Kilimanjaro does not form part of a mountain range, but instead, stands entirely alone – Tall, grounded, strong, independent, fierce, free, captivating, with a commanding, yet elusive, intriguing, and all-consuming (in the best possible way) presence.
It’s safe to say that the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro is a true natural wonder and Mother Nature masterpiece in every sense of the word.
“If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again.”
