Zombies on Kilimanjaro – A Father/Son Journey Above the Clouds by Tim Ward

Zombies on Kilimanjaro – A Father/Son Journey Above the Clouds by Tim Ward

A father and son climb Mount Kilimanjaro. On the journey to the roof of Africa they traverse the treacherous terrain of fatherhood, divorce, dark secrets and old grudges, and forge an authentic adult relationship. The high-altitude trek takes them through some of the weirdest landscapes on the planet, and the final all-night climb to the frozen summit tests their endurance. On the way to the top father and son explore how our stories about ourselves can imprison us in the past, and the importance of letting go. The mountain too has a story to tell, a story about Climate Change and the future of humankind - a future etched all too clearly on Kilimanjaro's retreating glaciers.

Tim Ward walks up the mountain with his 20-year-old son, and together they explore the power of storiesAmid hallucinogenic walks, bizarre gastronomy, and sing song Tanazian guides, they illuminate the power and the delusion of the stories we often tell ourselves,and how In letting old stories go, we can find the key to transforming our world. (Carter Roberts, President, World Wildlife Fund US) As with all of Ward's books, it's challenging, exhilarating, brave and profoundly human - I came away from it feeling stimulated, enriched, and also genuinely honoured that an author would take me on such an intensely personal journey. The father-son relationship comes leaping off the page, and the intellectual dimension sizzles and crackles (Ian Weir, author of Daniel O'Thunder)
