Calling Kilimanjaro - hear what it's like to climb the Mountain!

Posted by Stephanie Morris on 30-Sep-2016 13:15:38

 Our Kilimanjaro trekkers set out on 23rd of September for the roof of Africa and we thought - why not go with them! We have clips at key stages of their trip to capture the moment and their amazing progress through their experience.

Short of actually being there, our experienced trek leader Jo called us at key points on the route to give us an update on how the group were progressing and what it feels like to reach the top. 

Listen in to the audio blogs below from the Mount Kilimanjaro trek if you want an insight into what to expect if you took on the challenge or if you just want to relieve that exhilarating experience!

Vic is one of our most charismatic leaders! Having lead many of our overseas trek challenges you'll find that there's nothing he doesn't know about climbing Kilimanjaro or trekking to Base Camp. There's a good chance that he'll be guiding your next Challenge so with that in mind, we wanted to know a little bit more about what he thinks of our DA Challenge portfolio, so we found out...

  • His all time favourite DA Challenge (because that's a recommendation in itself!)
  • The passport stamp he'd most like to have (would you agree?)
  • His top tip for adventure challenges (a bit of leader wisdom never goes amiss!)
  • And something we might not know...
