The Birdwatchers Hike to the 16,000 ft Camp

Posted on September 7, 2025 | Cybercasts

The Birdwatchers have now made it to an elevation where few birds fly. But we are still looking upwards, although less for birdwatching and more for setting our sights on the summit. We will rest this afternoon at high camp and tomorrow we will hike all through the night as we attempt the summit of Kilimanjaro.

 

If you take a close look at our photo from this morning, you’ll find a raven that decided to temporarily join The Birdwatchers…
