Rugged Luxury: The Kilimanjaro Expedition

Kim successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the exclusive Rugged Luxury Kilimanjaro Trial Team, a hand-selected group testing CTSS’s next major expedition before its official launch.

 

From summit ascent to helicopter descent and a private Singita safari, the experience blended endurance, precision, and five-star execution.

 

Because preparation, strategy, and discipline don’t stop at the mountain, and they don’t stop in business either.

Trek Highlights

  • Inaugural Expedition: Kim joins the first-ever Rugged Luxury Kilimanjaro trek.

  • Scenic Helicopter Descent: Looping around Kilimanjaro before landing directly at the hotel.

  • Luxury Accommodations: Nights at Legendary Lodge in Arusha and upgraded tented camps on the mountain.

  • Singita Serengeti Safari | Jan 17–21

     

    • Jan 17–18 – Singita Sasakwa Lodge: An Edwardian-style manor overlooking the Serengeti plains, with private cottages, plunge pools, and world-class dining.

    • Jan 19–20 – Singita Explore Camp: A private tented safari for the team, complete with lantern-lit dinners, private game drives, and a dedicated guide, chef, and camp crew.

  • Private Charter Flight: An exclusive “Aerial Safari” from Arusha to Grumeti Airstrip.

The Meaning Behind The Climb

For Kim, this isn’t just another summit, it’s a continuation of the mindset that’s carried her through every stage of life and business:

 

No mountain is too tall, no goal too large, and no obstacle insurmountable.

 

The Rugged Luxury Kilimanjaro Expedition reflects her belief that hard work and adventure can coexist with grace, balance, and gratitude.
