3rd August 2023 - We have Arrived.....!!!!

The team have all arrived in Kilimanjaro at various points through the day, those that arrived early have taken advantage of sitting relaxing by the pool. Tonight we have met Emanuel our guide, and he chatted through the trek with the emphasis on poli poli, slowly slowly. The team are all eager to get going and tomorrow we drive to the park gates to organise our permits and begin our journey firstly through the rainforest zone, which is the lush and green belt that surrounds the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s a short day which is great to stretch the legs after sitting on the plane.
