Steve Kamau is also a member of the Kilimanjaro Club

The Kilimanjaro Club lists people I know who have scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro, including those who join me every year on the annual Mwalimu Nyerere/Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Climb and those who join me for my non-charity climbs.
*********************************************************
When I was planning my annual Kilimanjaro climb in 2010, Steve Kamau of Zara Tanzania Adventures helped me along. I suggested to him he should consider climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro so that the next time he suggests a Kilimanjaro climb for a client of Zara, he would have the experience of climbing this World-famous mountain himself to support his pitch.

He accepted my suggestion and joined me on the 4th Mwalimu Nyerere/Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Climb in September 2011.

He becomes the tenth member of the Kilimanjaro Club.
