This is a short game for 2 to 4 players. The game is designed as a fairly simple movement game, but here it must be kept in mind that it is mainly for children (A suggested age of 7 and up). The players start the game at the Expedition-Base-Camp and its their goal to be the first who reaches the camp at the foothills of the Kilimandscharo. For movement, players use movement cards of 4 kinds (Boat, Car, Mule, Foot) with different values (1-7).

At the beginning, each player has 3 cards open before him and 3 on his hand. Each turn, a player first places one of his hand cards on top of one of his open cards or one of the open cards of an other player. Then the player may move his expedition as far as the value of the highest card before him. If he has several cards of the same colour, he may sum the values of these cards. Three kinds of random events are placed on the gameboard: Bananas (Double Movement), Lions (Back to last village) and Change Positions (Change Position with other Player).

The game has a nice design, it is very cheap (about 10,- DM) and it offers short but enjoyable gaming.
