The Team Reaches Shira Camp
The February 9th Machame Expedition Begins!
Hello Everyone,
Our last Machame route group of the season is beginning! Yesterday we did a gear check and orientation followed by a city walking tour and dinner out on the town. It’s looking like a strong group and we are excited to head to the mountain to begin our climb this morning. Last night we celebrated one of the climbers birthdays and we have one more to celebrate in a few days on the mountain. I’ll be posting here with our progress up the mountain.
Thanks for following along,
Ben Jones

Lemosho Team on to the Safari
Hello Everyone,
We had a beautiful last hike through the forest enjoying a quiet trail in the early morning for our final hike. The team stayed strong and healthy throughout this climb and was yet another 100% success to the summit and down. Thank to our crew and this team of climbers for another fun journey! I’ll be back in a couple weeks for our last climb of the season!
Thanks for following along,
Ben

Team Summits Kilimanjaro!
We had 100% success on the summit of Kilimanjaro this morning. We are now safely down to our final camp on the mountain at Mweka camp which is at 10,000ft. We have just finished up dinner and heading to bed for a well deserved rest! We will wake up early tomorrow morning for our final hike down through the forest to the park gate. The team is happy, healthy and tired. I’ll send some photos tomorrow once we get connected again.
Thanks for following along.

The Team calls in from Kosovo Camp
Great trip, Went just as noted on the website, Eric was in touch with us ahead of time, and kept us well prepped from start to finish. He catered very well to the needs of each individual. Guided and educated us daily as to expectations and how to handle the challenges. Was a great teacher.
