Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest trekkable mountain in the world, the largest freestanding mountain in the world, the highest mountain in Africa and has the only snowfields on the equator.

Tune in by René Keiser

Not that I'm not used to mountains and snow - after all I grew up in the Swiss alps and live in Switzerland - but climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was one of the greatest mountain experience so far for me. Despite that we were asked to limit what we want to take with us, I couldn't resist to take my DSR camera to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.

After all, one doesn't climb to 5,895 meters above sealevel every day. And now looking back at this great trip once in a while I'm more than happy that I did so. Enjoy this selection of pictures from my trip to the top of Africa.
