It was quickly followed by the irregular, staccato beat of a dozen heavy raindrops clattering against the thin, tin roof of the climbers’ shelter. A few seconds later an unremitting arsenal of liquefied bullets hammered down on the corrugated roof, threatening to distort its smooth undulations into a ragged, dimpled finish.
At this point, we had not even passed through the gate into Kilimanjaro National Park, but already the mountain was squaring up to us.

The most popular and scenic route is the Machame Climb Route . This route is however of medium difficulty and is recommended for people with average fitness.
ReplyDeleteThe Machame route is the most popular because it has the best success rate, great acclimatisation being the key.

Hi Jon,
ReplyDeleteI am a casting producer for an American television show about people buying homes abroad. I came across your blog and wanted to reach out to see if you might be interested in participating in an episode of our show.
House Hunters International tells the story of people who have picked up and moved to an exotic, foreign location to pursue a new life abroad. Being on our show is a lot of fun for our participants and is a great way to document your search for a new home.
We are casting for people who have already bought/rented a home, or are currently looking for a home in a new country. If you or anyone you know meets these qualifications, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Rebecca Kurland

ReplyDeleteMy name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Tanzania and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 1-2 years or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. I wanted to know if you could help spread the word to expats living there or are close to moving. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
