Some reports suggest global warming is to blame for the retreating glaciers on Kilimanjaro, while other reports suggest lower level deforestation is having a negative impact on humidity/moisture levels in the mountain air which 'feed' the ice and snow on the mountain. But whatever the reason, the ice cap is disappearing quickly.
So, when we read that the snows could be gone within the next decade, we said let's combine our love of hiking, the outdoors, our sense of adventure, and of course a safari, with a summit attempt of the world's highest free-standing mountain in the world - 19,340 ft (5895 m).
