Botswana Safaris, 6 months ago
Myself and a group of friends climbed Mount Kilimanjaro earlier year in aid of Asthma UK. It really was the most amazing amazing experience and has certainly given me the taste for Africa. It was the most beautiful mountain and was like hiking through four seasons in a week, from steamy forest, mountain rivers to snow topped summit. I will be returning Africa in the next 12 months, this trip looks perfect.
