Africa's Big 3 - Outside Trip fo the Year 2011
Every year Outside Magazine selects the very best trips from around the globe for their ‘Trips of the Year' listing. Chosen from the most creative, affordable and down-right fun selection of trips in years, we are delighted that our brand new Africa Big 3 has been picked as one of the Top Ten Trips of the Year for 2011! Our ‘Explore More' expedition to climb Mount Kenya, Kilimanjaro and Mount Stanley is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and completely unique to KE!
Here is what Outside Magazine had to say about Africa's Big 3...
Three weeks, three countries, and three 16,000-plus-foot peaks. That's the ambitious premise behind a new itinerary from KE Adventure Travel. The trip starts with four days of acclimatization on the sharp, scree-covered slopes of 16,350-foot Mount Kenya. After summiting, drive to the Tanzania border for a five-day rapid ascent on the wild northern side of 19,340-foot Kilimanjaro. From there you'll fly over Lake Victoria, the largest tropical lake in the world, to Uganda for an eight-day trek up glaciated, 16,750-foot Mount Stanley. Don't expect posh accommodations: digs are safari tents and base-camp huts, and meals consist of mountaineer fare (porridge, coffee, pasta). Do expect some of the most remarkable views in Africa!
