Phunuru reports that the Kilimanjaro team had a nice hike this morning down to the Mweka Gate trailhead, followed by a mini bus ride back to the hotel in Moshi. After lunch, showers, and some beers (not necessarily in that order) everyone was cleaned up and feeling good. They kept the party going into the evening with their local Chagga guides at a celebration dinner. Well done team!
Tomorrow morning the team will drive to the airport in Arusha, then fly by airplane about an hour to the west to the Seronera airport in the middle of the Serengeti National Park. Upon landing they will be met by their drivers and start their 3 night / 4 day wildlife safari. If you are going to go all the way to East Africa, spending a few days on safari is the perfect way to put a bow on the trip!
