In December 2015\/January 2016, working as an Expedition Leader for World Challenge\u00a0Expeditions, I spend a\u00a0month with a group of Aussies on expedition, including my sixth summit of Kilimanjaro and all the group of 13 people make it to the top as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This expedition is arranged by World Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tanzania (Mt Kilimanjaro)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dec 27 – Dec 28, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arrive in Dar es Salaam. Known as Dar for short, the city is an exciting melting pot of all East African cultures where Masai tribesmen and Muslim sheiks walk side by side through bustling markets and crowded cafes. On arrival, we\u00a0meet our driver, who takes us to our pre-booked first night’s accommodation. There’s a lot to organise today: we\u00a0need to change some money, make or confirm any bookings, organise transport to our next destination and pick up any necessary supplies for the first phase of our expedition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dec 29, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dar es Salaam. Today we\u00a0have the opportunity to plan ahead and complete expedition admin, as we\u00a0acclimatise to our new surroundings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look ahead in our expedition and think about what bookings need to be done now and who we\u00a0need to call up!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also think about how we\u00a0are going to get our team around Tanzania and put a plan in place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dec 30, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Travel to Moshi. Head up to Moshi in Northern Tanzania to prepare for the next phases of our expedition<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stock up on supplies, look into rest and relaxation options and confirm any transport bookings. There is also plenty to do in Moshi such as visiting the town’s vibrant markets to buy souvenirs. Our In-country Agent, Timba is based in Moshi should we\u00a0need him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dec 31 – Jan 2, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mount Longido Acclimatisation Trek. At first light we\u00a0will head from Moshi to Arusha, where we\u00a0will meet the Mt Longido Cultural Tourism Programme representative. They will then take us\u00a0to Longido Village, the gateway to Mount Longido (make sure we\u00a0ring them beforehand). At 2679m tall, Mount Longido is one of the toughest acclimatisation treks available in Tanzania. Accompanied by local Masai guides we\u00a0will walk through dense natural forest and buffalo trails. If we\u00a0reach the peak on a clear day, we\u00a0will be rewarded with views west to the Rift Valley, north into Kenya, south to Mount Meru and east to Mount Kilimanjaro. Our trek will be run by the Cultural Tourism Programme, which means that guide and trek fees go directly to the local community, and our expert guides are all young Masai who have grown up in the area. Feel free to ask them any questions we\u00a0have on Longido and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 3, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Travel to Moshi from Longido. Today it is time to return to Moshi and to the next phase of our expedition. The journey back from Longido is a long one, so we leave plenty of time to do it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 4 – Jan 8, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Project Phase. Today we\u00a0will travel to our project site. Our project form will give us\u00a0information on how to get there. Don’t forget to pick up supplies beforehand or along the way as food and equipment may be scarce in the local area. The project phase is our opportunity to interact with a local community and see a side of Tanzania that few visitors have the chance to experience. There’s a wealth of tasks our team can take part in and activities may include creating vegetable gardens, repairing classrooms and developing playgrounds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The time we\u00a0spend on our project will have a lasting impact on the community so it is up to us\u00a0to lead by example and show the value of a good, hard working ethic. As a team we\u00a0might like to think ahead and plan some lessons and games. Why not set up some extracurricular activities like a football or netball match with some of the local children?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 9, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kilimanjaro Tree Planting Project. Today we\u00a0will meet with Timba, the In-country Agent in Tanzania, who will take us\u00a0to the site, where we\u00a0will be contributing to an ambitious project of reforesting the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro; helping in turn to reverse the devastating effects of deforestation for the local environment and inhabitants.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 10 – Jan 17, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mount Kilimanjaro Trek. Our team is about to embark on an awe-inspiring, eight-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the highest mountain in Africa. The trek is very challenging, but achievable, so make sure we’ve done plenty of fitness work before we\u00a0arrive. Remember to pack some warm clothing too Kilimanjaro is so big that climbing it can mean passing through all four seasons on the way!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’ll\u00a0be climbing on the Lemosho Route, which comes in from the west. Each day, we’ll carry in our day sack all the food, water and spare clothing you need, plus any group kit that the Expedition Leader has asked to bring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our main rucksack, tent and cooking kit will be carried by a team of porters. We’ll pass through cultivated farmland, lush rainforest and alpine meadows before reaching the barren lunar landscape of the higher slopes, which leads to Barafu, the base for the final ascent. Porters on Kilimanjaro have a really tough job and they’ll really appreciate any effort we\u00a0make to get to know them and make them feel part of the team. A few words in Swahili will go a long way. Asante means thank you and pole (pronounced polay, and meaning my sympathies to you) shows respect for their work after a hard day of carrying your bags.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 18 – Jan 20, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rest and Relaxation – Safari. The chance to see East Africa’s impressive wildlife is what brings many people to Tanzania. We choose Ngorongoro and Tarangire, which combine stunning backdrops with close-encounters with some of natures finest creatures.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our game drive will be with Ahsante Tours, our recommended safari provider.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 21, 2016<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Travel back to Dar on the Dar Express (10 hour bus journey) and prepare for R&R on the Swahili Coast, for a well-earned rest! The journey will take about 8 hours, so leave early, so that we\u00a0don’t arrive in the dark!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Make sure we\u00a0book your accommodation and transport early, so that we\u00a0are not disappointed!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 22 – Jan 24, 2016<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rest and Relaxation – The Swahili Coast<\/em>. We\u00a0decide to head to the coast for our well-earned rest and relaxation phase. We head for Kipepeo, which boasts white sandy beaches, a number of exciting activities and are excellent sources of East African history and culture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The East African coast was a key base for the slave trade and we will find evidence of this wherever you go.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This phase of the expedition is the perfect time to bring home souvenirs for friends and family and there is no better way to grab a bargain than by haggling in Swahili. Ask bei gani? for the price. Ghali sana means very expensive and punguza kidogo asks the seller to lower the price a little. Of course, the best haggling tactic is to smile and joke, so remember not to take it too seriously!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 25 – Jan 27, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Depart Dar es Salaam. Perform those last minute jobs before you pack up for the final time and head to the airport for the flight back home. Ensure that we\u00a0arrive at the airport at least three hours before our flight is due to leave and give ourselves plenty of time to get there, as the roads can be very busy! Getting off the plane back home, we\\’re\u00a0bursting with stories and photos to keep family and friends entertained for hours! Saying goodbye to our team will be harder than\u00a0we imagine as we\u00a0have become lifelong friends, but the excitement of a shower, clean sheets, a comfy bed and catching up on all the news at home will make it easier.<\/p>\n
