Most kids are happy climbing trees. Steve Hartman has the story of a boy who has his sights set on something bigger.

Marketing Director, Tricia Evans said, 'Mount Kilimanjaro is formidable in terms of reputation and altitude, so anyone that joins us is in for a real adventure. At 5,895m (19,340ft), 'Kili' is Africa's highest peak - and the challenge is to reach the summit! It's a lifelong dream of many people to stand on 'Africa's Roof' and look down at the surrounding savanna. Whilst not aimed at athletes - we've had many former 'couch potatoes' complete it in previous years - it's still a demanding test of determination and fitness. However, because it's one of the most rewarding adventure challenges it's also one of the most popular, so sign up now before all the places are taken. If you do want to take part, I'd advise you to start training now. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy yourself.'

Chatham, NY When Mark Elliot and Rhonda Neal decided to tie the knot, their love soared literally. The mountain climbing enthusiasts from Mission Viejo, CA are planning to be the first couple married on the African peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro on December 29th. The mighty Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and dominates its landscape unlike any other mountain. Located in Tanzania and known as the Roof of Africa, this extinct volcano looms over five eco-systems and large game reserves and is certainly one of the world’s most impressive sights. According to Ernest Hemingway, the mountain is as wide as the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun. The idea for the first-ever African mountain top celebration came from Elliots 11-year-old daughter who also plans to make the climb along with a girlfriend. The girls will be the youngest ever the make it to the summit. Lisa Light, owner of Destination Bride in Chatham, NY, is helping to plan the

Volvimos al camino con una sensación extraña. Por una parte la excitación de ver a los leones fuera de jaulas y zoológicos. Y por otra, la sensación de tranquilidad que nos dejaron al ver al grupo de felinos tan relajados.Pero la misma imagen de la sábana impresiona, había muchísimos animales juntos. Es difícil de describir pero comenzamos a ver cebras, ñus, búfalos y todos envueltos en el amarillo de los pastos. A lo lejos se veía una débil franja verde y allí nos dirigimos. Lógicamente pensé que habría más animales, los pastos estarían más frescos y habría algún arroyo.La sorpresa fue estupenda cuando apareció un elefante. Un macho de colmillos enormes. Wilson, inmediatamente nos pidió silencio. Yo creo que hasta él se sorprendió y es que los machos solitarios son de lo más peligrosos. Así, que estuvimos alucinando un rato mientras el elefante nos observaba y creo que evaluaba si éramos una amenaza, para él o su manada que debía estar mas adelante. Wils
