Porters on their way to Machame Camp at 10,000' (Photo by Adam Angel)
Fresh from a trip with 100% of the team reaching the roof of Africa and an amazing safari – IMG Senior Guide, Eben Reckord, is at it again. Machame Camp at 10,000 ft. yesterday and moving well. That’s great news as I’ve always thought the first day on the trail was one of the tougher days. A strong trip to Machame Camp bodes well for the expedition.
Great time to be in Africa. Summer crowds have lessened somewhat and weather remains good. I think we’re going to hear lots of positive updates in the next few days. Shira today and Baranco tomorrow. Baranco is probably our favorite camp. Views are just pretty hard to top.
Go get ‘em, Eben!
