IMG Guide Audrey Simonson reported the team excitedly drove to the Machame Gate and began their trek through the rain forest to Machame Camp (~10,000ft) after spending the first few days in Moshi preparing and enjoying sites such as the Soko Kuu market and Kilimanjaro Native Cooperative Union Coffee Company. All is well in Africa!
