November 14 by MagnusLindaWilma (224 found) Hi I drop a virtuall GC at the top of Kilimanjaro. I reached Uhuru Peak in January 2007 before I learned the thing abot geocacing. This will be the closest for me to make a cache hunt on Kili. This coin will be handed over at a event in Sweden tonight and it's just a restplace in cyberspace for this coin. So to all of you that are going for Uhru Peak just Pole pole. Good Luck! If you have a guide called Matthew give him a hugh from Magnus Sweden, [view this log]

October 10 by pum (708 found) After the photo session on the top I search the cache together with my guide Giorgio. We found it after a short search. It is a special feeling to find a cache on the top of Kilimanjaro. TFTC Out: TB Summer the Cicada [view this log]

October 8 by smac920 (360 found) Made the summit at 8:00am. No time for geocaching. Survival was the issue of the day. [view this log]

September 17 by Flying Tin Tin (38 found) Took the Macheme Route up, easy ascent till the final night (we left camp at 0100 to be on summit at dawn) when the altitude took its toll and I felt rather 'drunk' on the summit. Even so, managed to get the cache which was far enough away from main peak not to be seen. Great views, the roof of Africa, Sunrise and Glaciers... AWESOME [view this log] Flying TinTin in red, guide and oppo!!

August 21 by Nostra75 (10 found) I was at the summit (via machame route) the 21 august 2009 (06:45) but i didn't bring my GPS device with me. [view this log]
