People didn't need to know Paige Hudson ’s name to know her story. For people trekking up Mt Kilimanjaro   “that woman   from Florida ” had become the stuff of legend. Guides, porters , other hikers all wanted to know if the 52-year-old former elementary school teacher had finally made it to the top on her third try. “It was so funny,” Hudson   said Monday afternoon, only days after returning from Tanzania . “I know I was there three times, but I don’t like to count the second because I was sick when I got there.” Hudson first tackled the mountain   last December , but stopped just shy of the top. In June, she flew overseas again with the intent to reach the highest peak, but three days in, strep throat and a sinus infection forced her to turn back. On Oct. 3, she started again and told her guide, Simon, only one of two outcomes could play out this time: death or success.

Thereafter, the duo started planning for this historic and unique event by raising money for their trip to Tanzania and in particular Kilimanjaro Mountain. They also informed their relatives about their plan to have their wedding on Mount Kilimanjaro of which they got the green light from them. They arrived in the country last week and started their seven day Kilimanjaro expedition through Machame route on 20th September, 2014 and spend an overnight at Machame Hut waiting eagerly for their wedding on the following day.  Zara Tours Company based in Moshi, organized the Kilimanjaro climb.   Now here is the D-Day: At Shira Cave where they arri

A 76 year old grandfather reached the summit of Kilimanjaro with his son and young grand-daughter, 57 years his junior.   He revealed the secret of his success to Tanzania's leading businesswoman Zainab A. Ansell, who thought she'd seen it all. When you're in the business of hosting thousands of travellers as they set off for the summit of one of the world's most famous mountains, you'd think you'd seen it all.   Yet for Zainab A. Ansell, there's always something new and inspiring on the horizon. On 6th September, Zainab, Tanzania's Businesswoman of the Year 2012, met a former North East UK Businessman of the Year, Bent Henriksen OBE (Hon.), as he began his first ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. The famous dormant volcano is Danish-born Bent's fifth peak in five years.   He has already tackled Everest Base Camp, Mont Blanc, Mount Elbrus and Monte Rosa.   An impressive achievement in its own right.   It becomes even more impressive wh
