A remembered event
It was after completion of four months training in social sciences when our teacher suggested we should climb Mountain Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) (19,340ft / 5895m), the second highest mountain in the world. I was 21 years old. I was happy, and I shared the idea with my parents. My dad didn't like the suggestion. He thought I 'm not strong enough to make it, and I might die on the way. I convinced him, telling him how important it was for me to be among the climbers because the mountain is in my place of birth i.e. in the region I was born, I wanted to experience the feeling of being at the highest point in Africa continent. After all these, my father allowed me to go. I imaged how I was going to pass through the mists of equatorial jungle to reach the snows and breath-taking views from the summit.On Monday May 13, 1996 we started this adventure through Marangu gate. When using this route (Marangu) there are three campsites (stops) before you reach the peak such as Mandara, Horombo, and Kibo Hut. We were twenty-three people in this group. Before leaving, we had an orientation on weather conditions, information on health due to altitude change, and how to handle an emergency. After the orientation, we officially started the advent
As we were conversing, he told me that he felt as if he was totally lost in life; he considered guarding people to Mt. It took us seven hours to reach the first stop, Mandara hut. After resting for two nights, we encountered a morning of gentle ascent and panoramic view. I felt sorry for him because he could still do something better in his life rather than just being a guard. I was born in Kilimanjaro region; regions are like states in America. Most of the climbers are foreigners. We passed through giant rocks and moved to the lunar landscape of the fine sand between Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. However, there are very few people from the region who have climbed it, despite that the mountain is in their own region and country. Nevertheless, I will never forget this adventure as I experienced breathing problems. We used our sixth day going back to Marangu gate from Horombo Hut.
