IMG senior guide Phunuru Sherpa reports from Moshi Tanzania that the December Kilimanjaro team have arrived with all their luggage. Good news! Today the members finished packing and weighing their duffel bags and had a chance to visit the town. Also, Phunuru and Kassim (our head Chagga guide) inspected the new tents that we sent over and worked on getting all the camping gear packed up. Phunuru says that the weather is quite warm, that the countryside is green from recent rains, and that there is some fresh snow on the summit of Kilimanjaro. Sounds like excellent conditions! They will be departing at 8am tomorrow morning for the Mahame Gate where they will get checked in with the Park and then start their climb. All’s well in Tanzania!
