Africa

I've been on 7 African safaris and I have seen 4 kids be abducted by kony. He killed the fat one because he said he had no use for him.(yes I speak Bantu) OP don't go if u are fat or unathletic
 
Next summer I'm going to climb Kilimanjaro with my dad. I'm hoping that the climbing agencies have a handle on the safety part, and I bet they do.
 
You'll love Kilimanjaro. It's hard work, but coming up to the summit at sun rise is the most amazing experience. I felt completely safe on the mountain... You'll probably fly into Arusha.. Not so safe... What hotel are you staying at?
 
I don't know yet, going to climb grand Teton this summer though, 2 days of training and only two of climbing. I'm super stoked
 
It's considered the easiest of the peaks ( highest mountains on each continent) but that's just because it isn't a technical climb, supposedly a very long and tiring uphill hike
 
Thats what I thought, Ive never not completed a hike with my dad and I feel like this would be a sweet one to do. Know how many hours avg it is by any chance?
 
They make you take like 4 days on it I think at the least. Kilimanjaro is the most underrated mountain ever so many people just go in with a oh it's an easy hike mindset and just get their shit rocked by the altitude. But if you are an avid hiker go for it.
 
How much did it end up costing you? I've heard stories of it costing thousands to get permission to hike up it.
 
Go there and be a total asshole to the local communities. Then when they attack you post on internet about it and profit
 
my buddy just climbed kilamanjaro last week. not sure how much it cost him but certainly not thosands of dollars (for the permit I mean). It's like $15/day and you need to stay a minimum of like 5 days. I think they hired a guide as well.
 
Probably cause 99% of the people on this site are ignorant white rich kids. Obviously Africa deals with conflict and disease but that barely scratches the surface of all there is to know and see on the continent. The fact that you associated Africa automatically with Kony shows how small your bubble of information is. Every 12 year old with access to youtube knows that. Is that the extent of your knowledge?

ITT: ignorant rich white kids.

I went to Uganda last summer and honestly it is an amazing place.

The one thing you HAVE to do is go on a safari. They take you out in a landrover and show you all sorts of animals.

The culture there is very different though. People are really chill so showing up on time isn't too common. The driving there is crazy so I don't recommend renting a car.

The people there are really friendly and easy to work with and surprisingly a lot of them speak english.

Be sure to always carry your own water and try to be as sanitary as possible without being offensive to the people. If you treat them like they are some dirty disgusting people they won't respect you as much.

Be prepared for everyone to stare at your because you are white.

All in all it's a great place just make sure you do your research and have a nice plan.
 
sorry for double post but you should also go to the equator. It is just a sign but it is still cool to say you did it.
