From Moshi to Uhuru Peak, three brave members of our Lindisfarne community, including students Lucas Greaves, Art Lush, and Head of Barnabas House, Kelly Bedford, embarked on a life-changing journey to Tanzania, as part of the Round Square Kilimanjaro Expedition 2026. Facing sub-zero temperatures, steep ascents, and high altitude, they reached the highest point in Africa (5,895m) before setting off on safari in Tarangire National Park. Beyond the breathtaking views and wildlife encounters, the true triumph lay in resilience, lifelong international friendships, and looking out for one another every step of the way.
“We travelled to Tanzania hoping to climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world and experience a different culture. We came home with a much greater appreciation for the people who shared the journey with us, the country that welcomed us, and the remarkable world we are fortunate enough to explore.” – Kelly Bedford, Head of Barnabas House
