Adventurer Dreams Of Hoisting National Flag On Mt Everest

“I like adventure. I have always harboured an ambition to hoist the Botswana flag at the top of Kilimanjaro. It was a big achievement for me to do just that. My next challenge is now to ascend Mount Everest and go to the moon later in the future,” he adds. This year, before his dream challenge, Phuthego says he plans to climb the Elbrus in Russia, the highest peak in Russia.  He says ascending the Russian mountain will be part of the preparations required to climb Everest.  He explains that for one to climb Everest, one should have climbed less taller mountains in other continents.

Phuthego says he always loved adventure attributing this trait to the tough and adventurous life he lived in Maun as a youth and in his adulthood.
