Mt Kilimanjaro (19,341')
My daughter and I joined 8 other people to do the Northern Circuit route to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, trekking from August 4th to August 12th. Our guide service, Peak Planet, turned out to be utterly fantastic. Not only did they employ excellent safety standards (procedures and equipment), but the guides with their staff of porters were some of the most quality human beings I have met. The Northern Circuit provides arguably the best opportunity for a successful summit due to the excellent acclimatization schedule. Despite varying levels of fitness and experience in our group of ten, everyone summited without major problems. Music provided by the entire Peak Planet staff for this climb.
