The pandemic was unprecedented and had upended our lives in numerous ways. Many people, myself included, had hoped and prayed for the pandemic to end and for our lives to be normal again.

Indeed, the world cannot be shuttered forever and in early mid-2022, world travel resumed. This was music to my fellow travel mates and me. We opted to fly thousands of miles to visit Tanzania, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro which is also known as the “Roof Of Africa”, and embark on a safari thereafter.
