The most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro - don't choose any other route to the top.
The Marangu route is fine if you like walking on motorways. It's like the difference between a 20-year-old single malt and a supermarket blend.
The Machame route is called the whisky route and it certainly lives up to its name. So don't choose the coca cola route, and enjoy this remarkable mountain, as it should be enjoyed.
A location sent from heaven. If you only ever visit one place in Scotland, then make it this one - for there is nowhere else on earth which holds such beauty. And I have no doubt then, that you will return to show family, friends and strangers the jewel that you have found, as I have done for the last 35 years. And please, remember the camera.
Sutherland, Scotland
