TAPS descends Kilimanjaro

Posted on March 11, 2019

Jambo friends, family and loved ones,

A fantastic summit day and a long descent left us tired yet satisfied.

We had great weather and a great team.

We took one last pic of the team and mountain🏔 and trekked to the Meweka gate where our whole team celebrated our success with dancing 🕺 and singing!

We drove back to Arusha and had a banquet, knocked out all the power in our hotel, had showers in the dark and jumped into real beds 🛌. We getting up early tomorrow for safari and flights. Thank you 😊 so much for following our journey to the top of Africa.

All our best,
Carole and Vern Tejas

The expedition more than met my expectations. We were taken care of very well…food was excellent, guides were very professional, courteous, and caring. Agenda was very efficient and meaningful. I have stated to my friends and family that Alpine Ascents performed way beyond my expectations.
