Our first sight of Kilimanjaro | Just coming into land |
One night at the Mountain Inn... | and it's off to the National Park |
All fit & healthy and raring to go... | and we're off into the rain forest |
A short pause prior to reaching... | Mandara Huts - where we stay overnight |
Then it's off again into the damp cloud... | ...to reach Horombo Huts where we stay for two nights |
Alex fills us in on what lies ahead | As dawn breaks we get a fantastic view of our goal |
On the acclimatisation day we visit Zebra Rocks... | ... and peak at The Saddle |
Drawn breaks again and we break camp.. | ... heading ever upward and nearer |
That's what we have all come for... | ...the landscape turns to desert... |
...we quench our thirst and keep hydrated... | ...and we reach Kibo Hut |
No, we weren't in the tents... | Tea & popcorn |
Next set of photos... the top!
