Kilimanjaro and Beyond (In-Person & Live-Streamed LAM Talk)

Toni Taylor will describe climbing Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft) with her husband, Stuart Trugman, as part of a supported group in February 2025. The nine-day journey via the Northern Circuit route traverses Kilimanjaro, enabling a less crowded experience and more time to enjoy the journey and its scenery and acclimate to the altitude. In addition to photos and a description of the route and climb, Toni will provide helpful tips for those considering climbing Kilimanjaro. Additionally, she will briefly describe their post-climb safari with photos of the amazing wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti national Park.
