Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with musician and activist Vitali Maembe

Early last month I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, accompanied by musician/activist Vitali Maembe who works and lives in Bagamoyo.

It was interesting climb, as he carried along his guitar, and attracted considerable attention not only from other climbers but also from the hundreds of guides and porters who are on Mt. Kilimanjaro at any one time.

Vitali Maembe takes a rest on the way to Shira Cave camp.

I have begun to post the details of that climb in my Blog Kilimanjaro, which has exclusive posts on my Mt. Kilimanjaro climbs. You can follow the adventure as it unfolds here.
