Book Synopsis From Platberg to Kilimanjaro by : Harry Loots
Download or read book From Platberg to Kilimanjaro written by Harry Loots and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-02-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry started his journey to climb Africa's three highest mountains on Platberg. On his way to the summit of Kilimanjaro, he also climbed in Tenerife, Morocco, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya. But long before that, as a child, he stood on the summit of Mont-aux-Sources, and thought he was on top of the world. On his travels, he argued with park authorities who refused to let him climb Teide in Tenerife - because it had snow on it! Got scrubbed in a hammam by a matronly figure. Who washed everywhere - yes, even there... Drank tea with a marijuana farmer in the Rif Mountains. Drove in the driver's cabin of an African train through Kenyan plains. Crossed the Tanzanian border on the back of a Boda-boda (motorcycle taxi). And diced with death on buses that 'sidestepped' oncoming traffic like professional bullfighters on Kenyan roads. On Jbel Toubkal his fingers got so cold they stopped working. In the Simien mountains he became a language teacher. And finally, on Kilimanjaro, where a simple bite on an energy bar left him breathless, he wondered why he took so long to get around to climbing this spell-binding mountain. Harry shares some of the problems he's had with trekking organisers. Like running out of food on the Rwenzori mountains. Handing over tips for porters that were apparently part of the trek but were never seen. Having to put up with inefficient equipment on Kilimanjaro. He details each day's trekking destination, distance and height gained. He briefly tells the history of the first ascents and naming of the peaks. And shares observations made along the way. Some of which will make you smile and others which will touch you emotionally. It's part travel story, part guidebook. With information for both the prospective trekker and the armchair traveller.

Book Synopsis Thorns to Kilimanjaro by : Ian McCallum
Download or read book Thorns to Kilimanjaro written by Ian McCallum and published by New Africa Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of two journeys, one which makes its way towards the slopes and summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and another which takes a curving inner path into the soul of the narrator. Encouraged by his wife, who accompanies him, Hamish Malcolm undertakes a journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro, not only to return his father's Bible but also to scatter his father's ashes - one of his father's final wishes. The outer journey is one in which he comes to know Kilimanjaro, its subtleties, its extremes and the crippling effects of altitude sickness. It leads to a dramatic life-threatening encounter with another climber, introducing him to a figure from his past: someone he wanted to forget. This story speaks to people individually and draws attention to one of our greatest challenges as human beings, to be first and foremost self-questioning.

A Military History of South Africa: From the Dutch-Khoi Wars to the End of Apartheid represents the first comprehensive military history of South Africa from the beginning of European colonization in the Cape during the 1650s to the current postapartheid republic.

Coverage includes the wars of colonial conquest (1830-69), the diamond wars (1869-81), the gold wars (1886-1910), World Wars I and II (1910-45), and the apartheid wars (1948-94).

Book excerpt: A father and son climb Mount Kilimanjaro. On the journey to the roof of Africa they traverse the treacherous terrain of fatherhood, divorce, dark secrets and old grudges, and forge an authentic adult relationship. The high-altitude trek takes them through some of the weirdest landscapes on the planet, and the final all-night climb to the frozen summit tests their endurance. On the way to the top father and son explore how our stories about ourselves can imprison us in the past, and the importance of letting go. The mountain too has a story to tell, a story about Climate Change and the future of humankind - a future etched all too clearly on Kilimanjaro’s retreating glaciers.
