Well done trip report! I've spent a considerable amount of time in East Africa (Kenya & Uganda). It is one of my favorite places in the world. I still haven't climbed Kilimanjaro...but would love to - it's on my list! For those SP readers who might appreciate some further reading about Kili, here are a few contributions:
Burns, Cameron M. Kilimanjaro and East Africa: A Climbing and Trekking Guide
(Second Edition). Seattle: The Mountaineers Books, 2006.
Krapf, Johann Ludwig. Travels, Researches, and Missionary labors, during an eighteen years' residence in Eastern Africa. Together with journeys to Jagga, Usambara, Ukambani, Shoa, Abessinia and Khartum; and a coasting voyage from Mombaz to Cape Delgado. London: Trubner & Co., 1860.
Meyer, Hans. Across East African Glaciers; an Account of the First Ascent of
Kilimanjaro. London: G. Philip & Son, 1891.
Natumaini kwamba utaweza kutembelea Tanzania na Kenya tena!

Thanks Liba!A very interesting and informative TR to say the least. Sounds like the trip was a bag of mixed emotions. Congrats on bagging the summit.
