Pete van Dongen gives his feedback on his ATD Kilimanjaro Climb
- Climb Kilimanjaro for charity
The story of Kilimanjaro – “The Roof of Africa”
I have just finished my fourth Charity Challenge Trek. Having previously done a Husky Sledding Trek in the Arctic, a Desert Trek in Namibia, and an Andean Trek in Peru (up to Machu Picchu), this year I went to Tanzania in Africa, for an 8 day trek, ultimately leading up to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (the ‘Roof of Africa’), the highest mountain in Africa, and the highest free standing mountain in the world! The summit of Kilimanjaro is at nearly 6,000m! It was to be a mentally and physically challenging, but, at the same time, enormously rewarding and amazing trip.
