'Le son du vent' with ParaglideKilimanjaro.com
Meet Jérôme Savarieau — the pilot who chose to listen instead of look.
While most adventurers on our ParaglideKilimanjaro.com expedition were chasing breathtaking photos, Jérôme had a different mission: capturing the soul of the mountain through sound. From the whisper of the wind to raw, unfiltered conversations at altitude, he turned the experience into an immersive audio journey.
We nicknamed him “Alpine Chat” — a fitting tribute to this thoughtful French paraglider who reminded us that adventure isn’t just something you see… it’s something you hear, feel, and live.
Watch this video of an interview with Jérôme where he shares a bit about his childhood dream that drew him to Kilimanjaro, his personal experience on the mountain to the adventure on landing after a successful flight from Mt Kilimanjaro.
To go even deeper, Jérôme also featured this story on his radio station, Station B. If you speak French (or just love authentic storytelling), it’s well worth a listen. See the links below.

Savoring some morning stretches under clear skies before continuing the day’s hike.
Trekking past towering glaciers in sub-zero temperatures, then taking it all in at the summit—where the view makes every step worth it.
Jérôme straps into his harness, runs a final check, and steadies himself—ready to take flight from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
