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. The beautiful free-hanging mountain was so magnificent and gigantic, and visible from the town of Moshi.
My friends (Henry and Paige) and I got our briefing from the guide, Mcdeme, the day after we arrived. We took a van to Macheme village, the starting point of our trek. The ride there was very bumpy but the scenery was breathtaking.
