Kilimanjaro: Dave Hahn and the August 5th Team Arrive in Tanzania

It wasn’t easy, but we got our Kilimanjaro climbing team together in Usariver, Tanzania. Today was meant to be an easy day of gear sorting and packing at the comfortable and quiet Rivertrees Inn—under the watchful eyes of curious monkeys. But with flight delays and reroutes, some of our team just barely made it into town in time for the climb—and predictably, the airlines lost their luggage. So it was a bit of a scramble—greatly aided by our Arusha-based outfitter, Barking Zebra—to come up with the required equipment on short notice. We think we’ve got it.
Dinner—our first face-to-face meeting for the complete team—was pleasant and relaxed despite the gear deficit. The hotel staff surprised Lisa, and all of us, by recognizing her birthday with a beautiful cake. Things are coming together, and we’re excited to get on the highest mountain in Africa tomorrow morning.
Best regards,
Dave
