Adventure_Alternative: Enroute to Karanga Valley on day 4 the views of the summit are extremely dramatic.
Adventure_Alternative: Lunch stop! AA has wonderful al fresco lunches with salads, fruits, drinks and sandwiches - all on tables and chairs in the sunshine. Very welcoming..
Adventure_Alternative: Happy hikers! With the summit in sight, extra energy and a smile for the camera
Adventure_Alternative: Penitentes, formed by wind and sun over ice, are quite common on the top. Note the summit sign just ahead of this person
Adventure_Alternative: Kili Summit - Uhuru Peak
Adventure_Alternative: AA pays porters at the gate on the final day, and we are probably the only proper ethical company to do so. Here, UK Director Gavin Bate and our Tanzanian director Castro Capelo give thanks to the porters for doing a great job.
