Something a little different to my usual content, but I wanted to share the experience with all of you as a thank you for supporting the channel. I climbed Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route in August 2023 and this is what happened...

Day 2: Machame Camp (2850m) to Shira Camp (3810m)
Day 3 Part I: Shira Camp (3810m) to Lava Tower (4630m)
Day 3 Part II: Lava Tower (4630m) to Barranco Camp (3976m)
Day 4 Part I: Barranco Camp (3976m) to Karanga Camp (3995m)
Day 4 Part II: Karanga Camp (3995m) to Barafu Camp (4673m)
Day 5 Part I: Barafu Camp (4673m) to Uhuru Peak (5895m)

Thanks to our lead guide David, assistant guide Raymond, Cubs Expeditions and the whole team of porters that helped us on the journey.

And thanks to George and Jon for coming with me - and starring in most of the footage as I was the one holding the camera...
