Climbing Kilimanjaro in Family

Two years after visiting Tanzania for the first time, we embarked on a very special adventure with Malik (7 years old), Emmet (9), Laila (11) and our grandma Tina (62): we climbed to the roof of Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain on the continent at 5,895m.
