The group has now finished Day 2: MTI MKUBWA to SHIRA CAMP
11,500'~3,505m ∙ 4.9 mi ~ 8km 5-6 hrs
We continue on the trail leading out of the forest and into a savannah of tall grasses, heather, and volcanic rock draped with lichen beards. In the afternoon we follow the Shira ridge the vast high altitude desert plateau where the first views of Mt Kilimanjaro open on the horizon and the landscape is a magnificent contrast from the departed rain forest.
Everyone is happy and healthy and still going great.
