The entire team has arrived in Tanzania. We spent last night at the Dik Dik Hotel in Usa River and have been enjoying the great food and hospitality. After a leisurely breakfast, part of our team traveled to a local orphanage to pass along some items they brought from the US. It was well received and very much appreciated. Our equipment checks went smoothly, thanks to the great preparation made by the team. We should be all set for our time on the mountain. We have experienced a bit of light rain this afternoon and cool temperatures in the lowlands of Usa River at around 4,000'. Unfortunately it wasn't warm enough for anyone to appreciate the beautiful Dik Dik swimming pool. We will get to bed early tonight to help recover from our long flights and so that we are rested and ready to head into Kilimanjaro National Park tomorrow morning. Stay tuned, RMI Guide Mark Tucker
