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.

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.
