What started as an ambitious climb quickly turned into one of the most uncertain moments in our journey. The road became impassable, the altitude tested us and for a moment, we genuinely considered turning back. But instead of giving up, we restarted the entire journey using a familiar route and what followed made it all worth it. Lake Rutundu sits high in the mountains, quiet and untouched. Getting there isn’t easy and this episode proves exactly why.
