My husband and I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2014. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. The summit is 19,341 feet and wow what a view from the top!! Absolutely breathtaking. Literally and figuratively! It took 7 days hiking and acclimating to the altitude to reach the top and 1 day to get down. Our bodies were more exhausted than ever before once we were done hiking down. We figured that we hiked about 21 out of 24 hours the day we summited and then headed down. Something we reminisce often about. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! We also met a wonderful group of people from all over the world we have been blessed to keep in touch with and continue our travels.
