We have just arrived at the Dik Dik resort.
A few hours of down climbing this morning has put us right back into hot showers and nice beds. We had a great trip and are so lucky with all the great local support that helped us achieve such great success on our climb. We head off to some of the National Parks tomorrow for a grand safari.
SUMMIT!
Under clear skies,a bright moon and breezey conditions, RMI, once again had the good fortune to have the whole team on the top of the "Roof of Africa". We are all here at Meweka camp, our final camp of the climb. A bit tired, but all in good spirits.
We are now back into the clouds that we have been looking down on for the last 5 days. We have been up since eleven last night, so it's quick nap before dinner.
Tonight is the night!
We are at Barafu camp, 15,240', the last stop before our summit push.
The whole team is in good shape. A few high clouds have moved in, so we will see what comes along. I will start looking at the weather conditions at midnight and hope we can get moving shortly there after.
Fingers crossed.

Just finished a nice lunch here at Karanga camp.
Another beautiful day, just a bit breezy with clouds below and clear above. We have become a smooth moving team. Everyone is in good shape and having fun. This afternoon we'll have a short nap and then tea time.

Greetings from Barranco Camp.
We are enjoying great weather and everyone did well last night. We had a nice hike today and the team is doing great. From our camp we have beautiful views of the summit and the Barranco Wall. We gathered in the dining tent for our afternoon snack of tea, fresh popped popcorn and hot peanuts. This is the life!

We are here at Machame Camp. Everyone is doing well and hoping to be out of the clouds soon. The mountain hasn't shone itself yet but maybe tomorrow as we continue our ascent to the Shira Plateau.

After 17 hours in the air we arrived at the Dik Dik hotel with all team members and bags to boot. A great way to start the trip with nice accomodations and a good looking crew.
Today we have been checking equipment, both personal and group, also going over trip detail and dates for our safari ahead.
It has been overcast so far today, but may burn off later; if so, we may take a walk to stretch our legs and we should have a great view of Kilimanjaro from on top of the water tower located on the hotels manicured grounds. The trail leads us from the hotel passed the huge organic garden we have been feasting out of since our arrival.
