  • Into the Wild: Mt Kilimanjaro (Ch. 03)

    Dilettante Auctor

    Our flight was quite empty so we could change our seats as we wanted.

    As we flew above ethopia all the way to Tanzania, we were around 2 hrs into our journey with just 30-35 mins more to our destination,  the pilot announced that we might see Mt Kilimanjaro on our left, so we all changed to the window seats and we were lucky to see Mt. Kilimanjaro.

    It’s peak is usually not visible due to the clouds, but for us, our luck was with us ; ) leading to a clear sky.

    The peak is visible only from above provided there’s a clear sky, but even during the clear sky, it’s not visible from the ground at it’s at a height of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above the sea level, it’s peak is surrounded by clouds making it difficult to spot.

    Well we were only there for a very less time, so maybe one might see if there’s a really clear sky but, that’s a little difficult.

    Nonetheless if you plan long trip then don’t forget to include the Mt. Kilimanjaro trek !!

  • Into the Wild: Beginning of an Adventure (Ch. 1)

    Our adventure started even before we landed in Africa. It started right from Kolkata airport, when our flight was delayed and to put a cherry on top, it took us around 40mins to reach our guest house when distance was only 5 mins away from the airport. Yes you guessed it right, we were lost even with the google maps on.

    Our stay in Mumbai was quite comfortable and even the next day our flight was on time to Ethopia. Nothing much of an adventure here.

    But, yeah ! how could I forget the immigration . . .

    We were supposed to get a visa on arrival at Kilimanjaro airport (Tanzania), so we only had all the documents & travel itinerary needed except our passport, so the airport officials did harass us a bit, but it wasn’t much of an issue.

    Now the real journey started from Addis Ababa (Ethopia) airport to . . .

    Well to know more stay tuned for the next chapter ; )
