We touched down at the Kilimanjaro International Airport just after 2:45 this afternoon and waited with baited breath to see if our hiking packs had made the connections.They did! After clearing immigration control we were greeted by Jenny and then Bosco from Kilimanjaro Brothers. They surprised us with water and cookies and then drove us about an hour to our hotel in Moshi. We also got our first glimpses of the mountain and they stopped so we could prove it!
It began to look a lot bigger as we drove closer. At our hotel, we met MD and our guide for the trek, Joseph. MD and Joseph went through our gear with us and then we briefed the entire hike with Joseph, MD, Jenny, and the owner of Kilimanjaro Brothers, George (who we had been corresponding with over email).
After a long and fun discussion we had a great dinner at the hotel and are ready to get some very, very necessary sleep.
Tomorrow the adventure really begins. We are almost certainly not going to have any kind of internet service on the hike so we will update y’all when we get back. Wish us luck!
