Going on an Adventure
With Luke Hayman
Luke Hayman isn’t just an adventurer—he’s a full-throttle, high-flying, wave-chasing, rock-scaling, music-making thrill-seeker. Whether he’s soaring through the sky on a paraglider, dancing on the face of a wave, or composing tunes that capture the spirit of adventure, he’s always chasing the next epic moment.
Recently, Luke, along with his equally daring friend Alexis Roxburgh, joined us for a Hike & Fly on Mt. Kilimanjaro—and let’s just say, it was an adventure to remember. With Rajeev Nongpuir, Jerome Savarieau, and the rest of our incredible expedition team by their side, they tackled Africa’s tallest peak and took to the skies in an awe-inspiring descent.
Luke has captured his entire journey in this fun, action-packed video, and trust us—you’ll want to stick around till the end. Why? Because altitude has some fascinating effects on the brain!
A massive congratulations to the entire team for yet another successful expedition with ParaglideKilimanjaro.com.
Hit play and experience the thrill for yourself! Video below
The expedition team, still fresh and full of energy at the foothills of Africa’s highest mountain, ready to take on another epic day. One common goal unites them—to paraglide off the summit!
Friends on an adventure together – Luke and Alexis after their first night on Mt Kilimanjaro.
Luke soaking in the breathtaking views of Mawenzi Tarn and its serene little alpine lake up high! While most eyes are on Uhuru Peak, the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro, its lesser-known sibling, Mawenzi Peak, is an awe-inspiring spectacle of its own. Rising to 5,149 meters (16,893 feet), Mawenzi is the third-highest peak in Africa and is known for its jagged, dramatic ridges that contrast sharply with Kilimanjaro’s smoother summit.
A special birthday cake on Kilimanjaro to celebrate Alexis’ birthday—now that’s a celebration at the highest level! In Swahili culture, birthday celebrations are usually modest and family-oriented, focusing on joy and togetherness rather than extravagance. But on Kilimanjaro, the spirit of adventure called for something extra special—a heartfelt happy birthday song echoed through the camp, filling the high-altitude air with cheers for Alexis!
Summit glory! A few minutes later, all of the ParaglideKilimanjaro.com expedition team members soared into the sky, gliding off the roof of Africa. Another epic day of adventuring!
Alexis Roxburgh is sure to remember this unforgettable birthday—soaring from the summit of Africa’s highest mountain! We at ParaglideKilimanjaro.com are thrilled to have been part of this incredible celebration and an all-around successful adventure!
