Name: Karen Moore
Title: Adventure Expert & ATC Marketing

Tour: Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb – Marangu Route
Duration: 7 Days
Cost: $1,265 USD

"If it’s ever been your dream to conquer a mountain and test your limits then climbing
Mt. Kilimanjaro is the thing for you! I sometimes refer to it as "Mt. Kill-me-manjaro".

Day one on the mountain will lull you into a false sense of "this isn’t so bad" but by the end of day two you begin to feel the altitude and oxygen comes at a premium. After that it is a tough slog up to the last hut (Kibo) and then your summit attempt in the wee hours of the morning. To be able to see the sunrise at the summit. Once that happens you forget all about the pain and suffering of going uphill for the last 4 days and you are on an adrenaline high that can only be described as "exhilarating". "
- Karen Moore
