Nancy Pearlman Climbs Kilimanjaro -- ECONEWS Adventure in Tanzania East Africa
Mount Kilimanjaro / January 2014
We toured Tanzania with Simba Safaris of Arusha, Tanzania. Several days of riding through Tarangire National Park, then to Mount Kilimanjaro.
What a contrast. From the 5 star luxury of Sopa Lodge to the simplicity of the huts on the Marangu trail up Kilimanjaro. Simba Safaris gave us the luxury of huts. Other hikers slept in tents.
In the huts and dining halls, we did have the modern marvel of electric lights, provided by a solar/battery system.
Perfect weather. Days clear, sometimes wind. Even on the summit, only a few passing clouds.
Our trail leader, Silvano Mchuwa, assembled a team of assistants, porters, even a personal cook. These fellows can be seen singing and clowning in the video. They were fun.
They carried everything -- except for our cameras.
Nancy Pearlman amazed the young men. At 65, she went to Uhuru Peak, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. We met a man even older, 78, who also went to the summit.
Roger Fielding of Cultural Vacations and Safaris negotiated the details from his office in Orlando, Florida, USA. And this is important --- absolutely do not go to Moshe, the base town of Kilimanjaro and hire a guide off the street. People die on Kilimanjaro.
Serving as a trail captain requires a college degree and a license. Silvano Mchuwa not only qualified with his degree and extensive knowledge, he had also led 46 climbs before our walk up the mountain. He and his assistants also spoke excellent English.
We encountered a group of Japanese tourists led by a guide who did not speak English or Japanese --- and the tourists did not speak Swahili. If one of the foreigners suffered an altitude embolism, how would the foreigner communicate the symptoms? Could the off-the-street guide call in a helicopter medevac in time to save their life?
Dealing with Roger of Cultural Vacations also insures travelers will actually have a team and services ready for them when they arrive in Africa. Credit card information goes to the Cultural Vacations office in Orlando, United States of America. How will a foreigner know they send their credit card number to a legitimate office in Tanzania? Will the charge go to a safari company? Or to an internet cafe in Nigeria?

I videoed Kilimanjaro with a Canon XA10 video camera. I recorded ambiente forest sound with a Tascam 40 digital recorder.
I mounted the XA10 on a Manfrotto carbon-fiber tripod -- very light, easy to carry all day.
Wasabi extended life batteries made this video possible. Six days without alternating current? The Wasabi batteries from Blue Nook are very inexpensive, a fraction of the cost of Canon batteries.
I charged four batteries. At higher than 15,000 feet, I fell. I tried to protect the camera with my body, but the camera hit the rocks. The impact broke the Wasabi battery. It functioned, but flickered if I moved the camera. I swapped out the battery. No problem with extras.
Blue Nook sells two Wasabi extended life batteries and a charger for less than $50. I bought two sets for the XA10 and the T4i. 4 batteries and two chargers for each camera. Less than $200 in total.
Also, independent chargers protect the expensive cameras. Blue Nook ships Asian adapters with the chargers. Plug a charger straight into the wall. Canon directs the users to charge through their cameras. Third World power surges can burn out a camera.

Women's leadership Tanzania
The WERISE and Pathways projects trained several women in leadership skills. Of those women trained, some of them took up leadership positions in their communities. This is their story.
