2023: THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. A PRIZE WORTH KILLING FOR.
We call it the Great Escape. The annual trip where my boss asks us expert travel guides to escort a group of privileged, uber-wealthy clientele on some far-flung expedition, a cut-throat contest for riches and glory.
The stakes have never been higher, nor the challenge harder: I must summit Mount Kilimanjaro before my rival guide to win the ultimate prize.
But this once-in-a-lifetime trip was never about winning to me. I’m here for answers, even if no one is ready to give them up. By the time we reach the top I will have the truth, if it kills me.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW FAR WILL THEY GO TO KEEP ME QUIET?
Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It has three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. It is the highest mountain in Africa: some 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above sea level.
Imagine trying to get up this mountain and finding out that the people who you are climbing with might not be who they say they are?
