Kilimanjaro 1999 Tanzania
Mountains Menu
Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is 19,335 feet high and the highest mountain in Africa. These photos from Dec 1999/Jan 2000 include some from the mountain and more of everything else we saw during the two weeks before the climb. This was a very low budget (2 week safari for $2k and Kili climb up marango route for $900) trip and I have never been so dirty in my life. As we moved, we set up and took down our own tents and were the only camp without lights (I discovered the hard way). To bathe, we went to the bar of a lodge and took turns using the faucet in the bathroom. I was the only American amongst mostly Brits and Aussies. This was one of my favorite adventures ever and I have so many fond memories. These are digitized images from 35mm film that was damaged in London. If they are in black and white, it's because I used black and white film. Would I like to return with the camera I have today? Damn right.
