KILIMANJARO IS CALLING

We reached shira camp in less than 5 hours and all clients are strong and happy.

After a solid warm lunch did everyone decide that their tents had more to offer than a trip around camp.

I'm surprised by the low number of tourists here, despite we are in "mid season" are there less than during low season.

We are on our way to Machame gate, clients are happy and thrilled.

We will climb Kilimanjaro using Machame route and using 7 days. Machame route is the most popular route as it offers everything that Kilimanjaro has offer.

As always am I enjoying

KILIMANJARO IS CALLING

Tomorrow I'll be back, guiding a small group and I can't wait.

It has been a terrible summer for me, as I was involved in a traffic accident and suffered from multiple fractures. Hence has it been impossible for me to pursue my passion for mountaineering.

But tomorrow I'll be back, and it almost feels like comming home.
