Kilimanjaro Team in Barafu Camp
July 28, 2019 Team is in the batter’s box, ready to take a ‘swing’ at the summit. Weather is perfect and team is pretty much perfect. Phunuru is planning for a 1am departure. It’s a big day, and it can be quite cold early in the morning. We’ll be wishing them luck, but I […]
Kili Team At Karanga Camp
July 27, 2019 The IMG Kilimanjaro Team just wrapped up a fantastic day on their way to Karanga Camp. This is often the favorite part of the whole approach as the route climbs the famous Barranco Wall. The wall can appear intimidating for some when looking up from below, and it does require a bit […]
Kilimanjaro team reaches Barranco Camp
July 26, 2019 Another good day with a fit team and good weather. The hike from Shira to Baranco is a bit of a longer day but a good one, it goes up to the Lava Tower and then down to the camp itself. Karanga Camp is the objective for tomorrow and then it’s […]
Shira Camp
July 25, 2019 Team is making good progress on Kilimanjaro. Strong folks and good weather makes for a sweet trip. That’s correct —- Phunuru is already back in Africa and is taking another IMG team up Kilimanjaro. Everyone arrived on schedule (more or less) with all their gear (more or less) but all got sorted […]
Safari Team Wrapping Up
July 5, 2019 The team is wrapping up their trip to Tanzania. Yesterday was their second day in the Serengeti and today they visited the Ngorongoro Crater.  They sent so many great photos, it was hard to choose which ones to post. So we’re just going to post a bunch. They’re heading to bed now […]
Safari Update

Team flew to the Serengeti and saw most everything on their way to their safari camp. ‘Most everything’ included a tree climbing lion. es, there is such a thing and yes, it is a very rare sight. Imagine climbing Kilimanjaro and 48 hours later […]
It’s Safari Time!
July 3, 2019 Phunuru reported too much beer and too much fun as the team ended their climb of Kilimanjaro. Everyone safe and sound, 100% on top and maybe just a bit of fun in the process. Think that’s the whole package. After hiking out to Mweka Gate and signing out with the Park, everyone […]
Kili Summit!
July 1, 2019 Phunuru and team did it – 100% on top! That’s great news and the even better news is that they’re already all the way down to Millennium Camp. That’s the land of the thick air! A few hours on the trail tomorrow and they’re out. They’ll be eating barbeque and sleeping in […]
