Here we are, like so many lambs to the slaughter, waiting to catch our connection to Kilimanjaro International Airport, all rubicund, shiny and keen. This trip has been organised by a fantastic company in Northern Ireland called Adventure Alternative and we’d all been advised to wear our boots for the trip, firstly to avoid any disappointments with luggage disappearing en route and secondly to cut down on weight. Tom Kelly had organised a red fleece for everyone in the group which proved seriously useful in a crowded airport. We flew KLM. They’re great.
