Climbing Kilimanjaro With Africa's Top Guide
"Climbing Kilimanjaro With Africa's Top Guide" is a travel guide to East Africa and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and a must-see destination for travelers, trekkers and climbers worldwide.
Author Erick Kivelege has summited Kilimanjaro over 500 times and guided thousands of clients to the top. Born and raised in Tanzania, Kivelege knows the land and terrain like no one else. Kilimanjaro is a place of mystery and wonder like none other on earth, and Kivelge's experience is unprecedented in a guidebook like this.
The book meticulously describes pre-climb information, including history, booking your trip, and traveling to Tanzania. It also includes all the information you will need on your climb—different routes, safety tips, and health concerns, among so much other invaluable material from an experienced Tanzanian.
The book also provides, for the very first time, the cultural and local information every traveler needs for a visit to visit East Africa. No trip to Tanzania is complete with a safari and visits to local villages, and this book will provide everything you need. It is for anyone who is even dreaming of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania or East Africa.
Asante Sana (thank you!) for buying this book. Kivelege welcomes you on your journey of a lifetime to his homeland of East Africa and Kilimanjaro!

Outstanding
This book is a must read for anyone going to Tanzania for Kilimanjaro or safari. Erick’s personal touch speaks from the heart and it is obvious how proud he is of his country. He gets you prepared for your trip and gives a personal perspective . I am going to Tanzania in February and maybe I will meet him!

I always love to read books about the places I’m going to. Most of the time they are written by some white dude with a very colonialist perspective. This is one of the few travel books that isn’t that.
Not only does he give great insight and advice but also he tells the story of the people of Kilimanjaro that only a native Tanzanian could. Must read for any future Kili hikers.
