Panoramic Adventure Presents: Kilimanjaro - Episode 5
We are making the jump from private touring to full service safari, trekking and travel planning as a business. The big gap between Episode 3 and Episode 4 was in large part due to that decision, but we are back on track and here is episode 5. The relationships we've made in Tanzania just continue to tell us we have made the right choice. Let us help plan your trip through the Northern Circuit of Tanzania or up to the summit of Kilimanjaro. You will not be disappointed.
This series of five, amateur extended videos covers what we called "Serengeti Expedition 2016." While the core focus of the trip was a self-drive overlanding and wildlife photography safari, we also trained for a mountain climb to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This episode is that video of our Kilimanjaro climb. One of our friends experienced a serious back injury before we left for Tanzania, so they were not able to complete their training, nor the actual climb, with us. Alan and Danielle hung back in Arusha and Moshi for five days while we went for Uhuru Peak.
As the team leader and driver of truck 1, I often took a bit of video with my smartphone as the real photographers were at work. The same was the case while we climbed the mountain. The result . . . 5+ hours of many many short videos that would likely only get deleted or take up valuable storage space on my computer. Instead, the short clips are being assembled into actual episodes (with my own variety of very amateur editing) in-between other tasks and events here at home. While the production value may not be that of something you'll find on the NatGeo channel, we hope you enjoy these nonetheless.
Episode 5 covers days 12 through 16 of our overlanding adventure inside Tanzania. We spend this video climbing the Marangu Route through the Mandara Huts, Horombo Huts, Kibo Hut, Gilman's Point, Stella Point and ultimately arrive to the summit of Kibo, Uhuru Peak . . . the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the roof of Africa.
