Entries from Kilimanjaro

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!

Jambo 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.
