Team Kili Kobe’s back to Arusha after successful summit!

Hello Everyone,

We are now back in Arusha enjoying the comforts of running water and beds! The team made great time today hiking from Millennium camp (12,500ft) all the way to Mweka gate at around 6,000ft. We had a great celebration at the gate with our crew of local staff and then headed back to Arusha for showers. We just finished our celebration dinner at a fine restaurant in Arusha and are now heading off to bed. This will be the last report for the season as part of the team is heading to Safari tomorrow morning and part of the team is heading home. Thanks for following along with another great season on Kilimanjaro. We will be back in June for more climbs to the Top of Africa. Congrats to another great team!

Thanks for following along,

Ben Jones
