Mandy Moore has just scratched a much-longed for dream off her bucket list by climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The actress made the trip alongside fiancé Taylor Goldsmith and a group of friends, sharing stunning pictures of Africa’s highest peak to Instagram after her adventure.

Mandy detailed the adventures of climbing the 19,341 foot Tanzanian mountain, writing, “On the night of our ascent to the summit, we woke up at 11pm (after a few hours of napping) to enjoy a couple of nervous minutes together with a cup of coffee before it was time to gear up in our warmest layers and start the nearly 8 hour trek to the highest point in Africa – 19,341 ft in total darkness.”
“Oddly, I’ve never felt more determined to tackle such a physical challenge before and yet the combined elements of exhaustion and extremely cold weather made it much trickier than any of us were prepared for,” the This is Us actress told fans. “All that aside, ultimately reaching the threshold of the true summit was more emotional and overwhelming than I had thought possible.”

“Kilimanjaro demands a lot from those who traverse her trails,” Mandy reflected on Instagram. “You have no choice but to show up. And we did. There’s nothing more empowering than realizing there is so much more than we give ourselves credit for.”
