I’ve got a Christmas wishlist to give someone a great guidebook to Mount Kilimanjaro (and Nairobi). There are a lot of books out there but what would be a really good climbing guide and a read that would make someone say that Mount Kilimanjaro is a “must do before you die” type thing?

Thanks in advance!
