The September Kili team at the hotel (Max Bond)
IMG lead guide Max Bond reports from Moshi, Tanzania that all’s well with the Kilimanjaro team: “We’re looking all set for another excellent adventure up on Kilimanjaro. The team all arrived on time yesterday evening and we had a relaxed morning today chatting about the climb, tips for success, and what to expect. We did our standard gear checks and had a nice lunch, then went to town to fill-in any gaps and get a taste of the local Moshi scene. We visited the market and enjoyed great coffee at Union Coffee, where we also got some souvenir shopping in!

Afterwards we visited a local pharmacy, and then a shopping mall to grab some snacks and other needs. We had a couple hours to rest, relax, and pack before dinner, where we chatted in more detail about what lies ahead for tomorrow. We also got to meet Kassim, our Lead Chagga Guide, and Peter, our Head Chef, this evening! Tomorrow we will eat breakfast at 7am, and depart for Machame Gate shortly after”.
