Day 1 (10/23) continued...
We kept marching through mossy trees & dripping leaves for a few hours.
Then we arrived at Camp #1: Mkubwa Camp
Group photo with our assistant guides Leonard & Goudance.
There were a few other mountain groups here. All were setting up tents on some very muddy ground.
We saw some pretty black & white monkeys along the hiking trail but at camp there were a few baboons running around.
Fun to see!!
This guy ran into the cook tent creating some commotion when he stole a banana. LOL. :-)
The 5 of us met in our dining tent (pretty nifty) for some snacks & hot tea. Not long after we enjoyed delicious hot soup & supper by Simon. Then it was off to bed falling asleep to the white noise of rain. :-)
'Twas a good day.
Love that the monkey stole a banana...lol Was is hard to sleep in the tents???
ReplyDeleteI never really slept great. Not because it was tent sleeping but because of the wet/cold & altitude. Pretty tough for most hikers to sleep well when climbing Kilimanjaro.
