It might look more like Iceland or Nepal, but the landscape photo on page 22 was taken on the slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro. If you didn’t recognise it, it might be because it shows a brand-new route to Africa’s highest peak, via the mountain’s north face. Pioneered by specialist adventure tour operator Gane and Marshall, the route gives spectacular views over Kenya and offers the chance, for the first time, for climbers to tackle the final ascent in daylight.
The cost to join a 2018 tour is £2,700, which includes transfers, accommodation, park fees, guides and most meals (
