Yesterday, saw the groups first day trekking on Kilimanjaro, taking them through the rain forest zone on the mountain. Today, at over 3000m, they will trek through the moorland zone to Shira Cave Camp, while tomorrow they will break through into the alpine desert zone. The sudden changes in ecological environment make the trekking expeirence all the more dramatic.
