Hello Everyone,
We had a great day with a wonderful group! After getting checked in at the Park Gate and a light lunch we hiked up through the forest and clouds in perfect hiking weather. The group was strong the entire 5 1/2 hours and 4,000ft of elevation gain to Machame camp at 10,000ft. After arriving we did a quick camp tour and got moved into our tents. We had a great first night dinner of steak, potatoes, vegetables, and spinach. Most of the team slept well but still adjusting to the different time zone, so each night should get better.
Today we woke up to beautiful clear blue skies and waited until all the other groups left the camp before we started up the trail. Today’s trail to Shira camp can be a little challenging because it’s pretty rocky but today only gaining 2,5000ft to Shira. We made good time today, enjoying the views above the clouds and arrived to camp for a late lunch. After some rest in the afternoon we came back to the dining tent for dinner and a briefing of the next day and heading off to bed. Team Hazah! Is crushing it!
Thanks for following along,
Ben Jones
