Machame Camp with Mt. Meru in the background.
IMG guide Eric Remza reports from Machame Camp at about 10,000 feet on the slopes of Kilimanjaro that the team is all tucked in after dinner, and a good first day of the climb. The weather was good today and they took it nice and slow going up through the forest, and pulled into camp with everyone feeling good.
Now, there is a big full moon rising up Africa and they are waiting for the June 15 eclipse to begin (East Africa will have 100% lunar coverage!!).
