BEST SELLING AUTHOR WRITES ABOUT EXPERIENCE WITH ULTIMATE KILIMANJARO
Tim
Ward, best selling author of Savage Breast and Arousing the Goddess, successfully
climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Ultimate Kilimanjaro in July 2010. We are
pleased to announce that his first hand account of his journey will be available
in his new book, Zombies
on Kilimanjaro
Book Description
A father and son climb Mount Kilimanjaro. On the journey to the roof of
Africa they traverse the treacherous terrain of fatherhood, divorce, dark
secrets and old grudges, and forge an authentic adult relationship. The
high-altitude trek takes them through some of the weirdest landscapes on
the planet, and the final all-night climb to the frozen summit tests their
endurance. On the way to the top father and son explore how our stories
about ourselves can imprison us in the past, and the importance of letting
go. The mountain too has a story to tell, a story about Climate Change and
the future of humankind - a future etched all too clearly on Kilimanjaro’s
retreating glaciers.
Ultimate Kilimanjaro and our clients have been featured in these fine publications.
