Magnificent 7 climb to Machame

Jambo friends, family and loved ones

Up early and headed to Kilimanjaro. Everyone is in high spirits anticipating the climb to come. We loaded our Landrovers and chugged up to mountain base.

It’s harvest time in Africa and silage is being stored.

The Mag 6 at the start of climb are looking pretty fresh. This is the Before picture.

Which is luck we are on our way to the top!

All our best,Vern Tejas
