Our monthly newsletter highlights the best of our unique stories from Africa in combination with hidden treasures we feel you may find interesting. This includes the best safaris, activities, accommodation, experiences, cultural experiences and conservation.
This month we are focussing on one of the most amazing experiences on the continent - climbing to its highest point - Mount Kilimanjaro!
Many of you may have seen the BBC documentary this week featuring the intrepid group of 9 celebrities summiting Africa's highest peak in aid of Comic Relief. It was quite an emotional rollercoaster for the mixed bag of celebrities from various walks of life, but all well worth it!
We hope it may have inspired some of you to take on the challenge with a group of friends or to join one of our groups. Of course people climb for a variety of reasons - to raise money for charity, to simply test themselves or some would you believe just for pure enjoyment! Whatever your reason we would love to have you join one of our climb teams on what is an experience that not only will be one of the toughest you'll have ever taken on, but also one of the most truly rewarding you'll ever have! If at that stage you are thinking 'ah that's not for me' please do read on, because Kilimanjaro really can be conquered by almost anyone with the right preparation...
Tailormade Africa is the leading specialist of climbs up Mount Kilimanjaro. We have all successfully climbed Kilimanjaro over the years and have sent hundreds of climbers to the summit of Africa. We also recently filmed and launched our very own climb 'short movie' which follows the story of one of our groups up the mountain. You'll find the movie link below and if you were not convinced yet that climbing the mountain is for you then please do watch it - we think you'll change your mind!!
