Tanzania: Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was more than just a dream; it was one of the best experiences of my life. The nature and wildlife I saw in the northern parks (Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Natron) reminded me of the instincts we should still have.
