December 30, 2010 Ang Jangbu reported that the descent from Kili went smoothly.  After a big celebration dinner back at the hotel, the team flew to Serengeti to begin their safari.  It sounds like the wildlife got the memo that they were coming, because they saw 4 of the Big 5 on the first day, […]

October 5, 2010 John Colver just sent this photo of the successful team in front of the Keys Hotel in Moshi.  Heck, all went to the true summit and none look any the worse for wear!!  A little celebration now with the Chagga guides and it’s off the following morning to Arusha for a bit […]
