Team “Lucky Charms”, safely back in Arusha!

Hello Everyone,

We are all safely back in Arusha! We had a nice hike out today through the rain forest down to Mweka gate where we had a nice buffet lunch and then driven back to the Arusha hotel. Everyone is doing great! We are tired, but are feeling great about our successes and accomplishment of everyone making it to the summit of Kilimanjaro! Tomorrow, most everyone will be heading off on a Safari for the next few days before heading home. This was an excellent group of people who came together as a team and accomplished all of it’s goals.

After just finishing up our celebratory dinner here in Arusha at a great restaurant, everyone is ready for bed. Thanks to everyone on this team for making this a fun, safe and successful trip to the "Roof of Africa".

Thanks for following along!
