It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve returned from East Africa. The whole journey has been so incredible and so surreal. I don’t even know where to begin. I left Canada in a bit of a rough spot in my personal life and from the beginning of this trip… it has been more than I’ve ever expected. It’s been a deep and personal journey that I’ve gone through and it’s something that I have NO regrets doing and I’ve come back a person that has a different perspective on life and I’m much better for it.
Anyways, here’s a bunch of photos from my trip. I loved my group they were a great bunch of people from all over the world that I got to hang out with. My trip experience would not have been the same with out them.
Here’s our starting point from Machame Gate.
Morning from Shira Camp. Mount Meru in the background.
Early morning photo ops!
I’m so excited!!
Had breakfast before we go from Shira camp towards Barranco Camp.
Climbing Barranco Wall
Jumping across one of many rivers.
Mountain in the background with a different tour group tents.
Mount Mwenzi with the sunrise coming up as we start reaching the roof top of Africa.
We made it Stella point which is higher than Everest base camp. Yes… that is also me happening to photo bomb this photo that someone from my group was taking.
Roof top of Africa.
Here’s most of our group - Kili Clowns

Missing Allie from our group.
After 10-15 mins at the summit… we start our 3hr trek/slide down the mountain back towards base camp.
On our way walking through the clouds towards Maranga Camp.
Another view of Kili.
And we all made it down the mountain at Mweka Gate! We were almost all sunburnt! I’ve never had such bad sunburns on my face before. but as you can see… we’re all just itching to get a hot shower, comfortable bed and a hot meal.
