Casey Grom here checking in with RMI's 1st 2026 Climb of Kilimanjaro!
All is well here in Tanzania and most of the team arrived late last night after some very long flights (roughly 24+ hrs.).
It’s a pretty short and uneventful drive to our Lodge that is nestled in between Arusha and Moshi and not so far from the base of Kilimanjaro.
The team had a quick dinner and headed for bed as the time change has us all feeling just a little off and pretty tired after all the traveling.
Today we had a relatively leisurely morning with our official team meeting at 8am, where we did a round of introductions and then discussed the upcoming program for the days ahead. We spent the remainder of the day getting our gear packed up, exploring the grounds of our peaceful Lodge and dodging the gaggle of monkeys that roam the neighborhood.
We wrapped up the evening with another delicious meal and plenty of friendly conversations. Everyone is doing well and excited to hit the trail tomorrow and get a little bit of exercise.
RMI Guide Casey and the Kili crew!
