August 12, 2015 The final day of safari brought the team to the Ngorongoro Crater. Another big day for the wildlife viewing in front of the team and the big question for the day. Will this be a complete trip? 100% on top with good weather, smooth safari with 4 out of the big 5 […]

August 10, 2015 Dustin managed to get a few pictures sent off in between the celebration dinner and the flight into the Serengeti. The team had a great climb and Dustin snapped a great summit photo. You just have to love the “New†Summit sign on the roof of Africa. For those of you who […]

August 4, 2015 Dustin checked in from a dry Shira Plateau on Kilimanjaro. The morning had us walking through a lot of mist which made things cool and damp. Once the team broke out of the jungle and onto the Shira Plateau, the sun came out and Kilimanjaro was in full view! They pulled into […]
