Kilimanjaro: Team Enjoys Final Sunset Together
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 23, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Jambo!
The Safari Team is back at the Dik Dik! We’ve had a great couple of weeks but our trip is just about over. Last night we stayed at Kikoti Camp, an amazing safari camp that has tons of wildlife literally right in the middle of it. We went on a great little hike to a rock outcropping where we had drinks delivered while we enjoyed the sunset. It made for a great finish to an outstanding trip. Now everyone is busy getting ready for their respective flights home.
Thanks for a great trip guys!

Kilimanjaro: Last Day on Safari
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 22, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
This is Seth and the safari crew checking in from the Kikoti Camp at Tarangire National Park. This was our last full day of safari and it was a good one. We managed to see several big cats again including a leopard. That was the last one we needed to complete our finding of the ‘Big Five’. The Big Five includes: lions, elephants, water buffalo, leopard and the rhino. The game viewing has been outstanding for us. Tomorrow we are heading back to town as several folks have an afternoon flight from Arusha heading home.
Our trip has been awesome and we will enjoy this last day before we board planes tomorrow and head back to our friends and family.

Kilimanjaro: Big Cats in Ngorongoro
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 21, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
It’s been a great day for viewing big cats in Ngorongoro Crater. This huge caldera is home to thousands of animals and usually the cats will rest in the heat of the day. But today the weather is cool enough for the cats to be mobile. We had a young male lion walk right in front of our cars as soon a we pulled into the crater this morning. We’ve also seen a cheetah and caught a rare sighting of a serval, a smaller, spotted cat that hunts in the grassy plains.
Tonight we are staying at the Plantation Lodge again before heading to Tarangire National Park tomorrow.

Kilimanjaro: Safari Begins
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 20, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
The RMI Kilimanjaro Team is now the African Safari Team! We have just spent the afternoon viewing wildlife in Lake Manyara National Park. After our celebration dinner last night everyone was happy to sleep in an actual bed for the first time in a week. After breakfast this morning we left the Dik Dik hotel and drove a few hours to Lake Manyara. Once we were there we rolled the tops back on our Land Cruisers for optimal animal spotting. The safaris here never disappoint and today was no exception. Elephants, giraffes, water buffalo and more monkeys and baboons than we could possibly photograph were just some of the animals we saw.
Now we are on the way to the Plantation Lodge where we will spend the night. Tomorrow we are off to Ngorongoro Crater!

Kilimanjaro: Teams Last Day on Kilimanjaro
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 19, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Hello from the village of Mweka! The group is all doing great. We started the day at our last camp, elevation 10,000 feet, with a great breakfast followed by a closing ceremony with our whole team. After that we hit the trail for a 3.5 hour hike down to the park gate. After signing out we had lunch and now we are riding in the truck back to the Dik Dik hotel. Everyone is psyched to hit the showers and start the celebration party.
After tonight our trip will shift gears as we start our four days of Safari! That’s all for now.

Kilimanjaro: Team at High Camp!
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 17, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000
We’re at high camp!
We pulled into Barafu Camp (approx. 15,000’) today right at noon. When we awoke this morning a weather system had moved in overnight. We were sandwiched between a low layer if clouds an an upper layer of clouds. As we began our hike the clouds enveloped us and it began to rain. After an hour the rain turned to snow which is much better for us. All in all it was a fun day of hiking.
We are about to have lunch after that it will be relaxing time until dinner an a few hours after that we’ll begin our summit push! Wish us luck.

Kilimanjaro: Team Checks in from the Top of the Barranco Wall
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 16, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 13, 600
Habari!
This is the Kili team checking in from the top of the Barranco Wall. We’ve just ascended the steepest part of our trek. We started this morning at 12,600’ and have climbed just over 1,000 vertical feet. The views of the Heim Glaciers on the upper mountain were awesome this morning. The clouds have come in now which will give us pleasant hiking conditions the rest of the way.
Tomorrow we will ascend to high camp!

Kilimanjaro: Team Members Set New Personal Altitude Records
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 15, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000'
Hi this is Seth, checking in from 15,000’ on Kilimanjaro.
We have enjoyed another great day on the mountain. As we left our Shira Plateau Camp we ascended to 15,000’ and everyone on the team reached a new high altitude record today. This is a great mountain to push your personal altitude records as our packs are light and we are ascending without crampons, ice axes and other alpine climbing gear. We’re about to drop back down about 2,500’ to our camp for tonight. Tonight’s camp is set at the base of the great Barranco Wall, a steep canyon emerging from Kilimanjaro’s southern side.
We will check in again tomorrow.
