Tallahassee Magazine’s sister publication Emerald Coast Magazine’s associate publisher McKenzie Burleigh, along with a group of adventurers, went on a fantastic journey to Tanzania, Africa. Scaling the "Roof of Africa" - Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,341 feet - before exploring the captivating Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro Crater.
The excursion was organized by Jim and Kristi Sumpter, founders of Endeavor Expeditions
and safari expeditions by Wander Africa.
On this inaugural trip the announcement of the newly launched non-profit The Kids of Kilimanjaro founded by Jim and Kristi Sumpter was announced to the 40 local staff of Tanzania. The vision of their nonprofit organization in Tanzania is to create a future where every child in the communities that support and work on Kilimanjaro has equal access to education regardless of their financial circumstances.
Among the travelers was Chandler Williams of Modus Photography, who documented the trip and showcased his journey at his studio in Santa Rosa Beach on May 15. Pieces are available with portions of the proceeds benefiting the Kids of Kilimanjaro.
In addition, Santa Rosa Beach jewelry designer Rebecca Pinto is launching a new line of custom pieces inspired by the trip. The proceeds will benefit Kids of Kilimanjaro, a nonprofit founded by the Sumpter's to supply scholarship funds to the children of Kilimanjaro guides and porters.
Godwin Magembe with Legendary Expeditions, a naturalist guide and wildlife photographer based in Tanzania, joined the expedition and offered his local knowledge and expertise with the travelers when they explored the Ngorongoro Crater.
