Planning a trip to someplace down in the states may take a few days of planning and a couple hours of packing. Now planning a trip to a place that is more than 8000 miles away may take a few extra days to plan out and probably a lot more time researching. The article specifies the different routes that are offered when climbing up the mountain and how they are at different heights and prices. It explains the differences between the landscape, animals and the scenic views you see between each of the routes. It also gives the reader an idea of the living conditions, such as living in tents instead of lodges or the amount of danger (animals) that each route contains.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro would be a great adventure and now being aware of the different ways to experience the climb I am more interested in this trip. I think that even though there are dangers with some of the ways that you can go about on the trip, the time you spend in a risky area is more daredevil like and you end up with a better experience. I feel like after your trip ended you’d up with a stronger bold and courageous attitude. The article has inspired me to add climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to my bucket list, as I have learned of the many scenic opportunities I have to see. I also think that I would end up taking the more dangerous route, even though it is something that I usually would not do. Overall the article had a lot of information and has made me want to go climb a mountain.
