From the Depths of Despair to the Heights of Kilimanjaro
Michael Delport embarks on the adventure of a lifetime: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest free-standing mountain in the world - with some of his wider family.
But just days before the ascent, in the heart of Africa - deep in the Serengeti, miles from the nearest hospital - everything changes. Michael's body gives out in an unexpected and alarming way. The dream is over, at least for now.
What follows is a whirlwind year across two continents, filled with uncanny timing, surprising turns, and moments that feel... serendipitous. One year later, Michael returns to Tanzania - this time with a spirited group of friends and a deeper reason to reach the summit.
Told with humour, honesty, and heart, Serengeti Serendipity isn't just a story about climbing a mountain; it's about midlife curveballs, the strength of shared purpose, and what it means to begin again.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
- Jack London
If you've ever had to put a dream on hold, this book is a powerful reminder: sometimes the detour is the most meaningful part of the journey.
