Product Description
"Mlima: Swahili for mountain. This exciting, informative, and at times humorous, reflective journal allows you to accompany the author to Arusha, Tanzania, in 2005 to the home of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, where you will summit the metaphorical mountains of the gruesome, wretched details of the 1993 genocide and the frustrating bureaucracy of the United Nations. The journey refreshes an emotionally exhausted mind by escaping into a series of explorations including a cold, dark night on Oldonyo Lengai, nine days climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, and great anthropological sites like The Great Rift Valley and Olduvai Gorge. Appreciation of nature and culture is complimented by safaris to Ngorogoro Crater, Lake Manyara and the mystical island of Zanzibar. Unique people from all over the world will shape your views of humanity; in particular, you will grow to love two orphan boys."
