Kilimanjaro: Seth & Team Begin Climb

Elevation: 9,800'
Jambo!
I am checking in from Machame Camp at 9,800’, our first camp on Kilimanjaro. We arrived about two hours ago and have been relaxing in our dining tent. The hike today was very smooth as we got a nice early start and didn’t have any delays at the Machame Gate (5,990’), our entrance to Kilimanjaro National Park. We were in the clouds all day and that kept the temps cool and perfect for walking. It was a great start to the trip!
