Machame Camp, 10,000 ft. Our team of nine set off precisely on schedule this morning at 8 AM. Our bus driver negotiated the busy highway to get us to the Machame Gate of Kilimanjaro National Park in a tidy two hours. There were papers to be filed and permits to be issued and finally we set out walking through the big forest at 11 AM. The team crushed it today, cruising from 6000 to 10,000 ft in 5 hrs, 20 min. We took a few breaks, listened to a few birds and surprisingly, saw the mountain. We began the day under thick clouds but they dissipated as we climbed and we ended up with blue skies and great views in our new home.

We’ve got the makings of another fine expedition to the highest point in Africa. Nine of us got together at Rivertrees Inn yesterday to plan and pack for the mountain. This morning we are setting out!
