At usually the first camp on Kilimanjaro, and even the last day when you are about to tip, the porters get together and sing a song for the tourists. Here is some amateur video that recorded the porters singing.

This is a picture of Mawenzi or Hans Meyer Peak. This peak sits to the East of Kilimanjaro and you pass it while hiking up the Marangu Route. Mawenzi Hut sits at the base of this peak and is usually the third night of camping on the Marangu route. From Moshi, Mawenzi never really seems [...]

Lava Tower is a great hike between Shira Camp and Barranco Camp. It’s a great way to help acclimate to the altitude - hike high, sleep low - as it’s an extra few thousand feet above Barranco Camp. Lava Tower is also a campsite for the Western Breach Route. It’s the camping area before Arrow [...]

Basically you follow a ridge trail with huge drop offs for a couple miles. It’s a very dangerous sections for everyone, especially the [...]

Karanga Camp Picture 2

Karanga Camp From AboveHere is another picture of Karanga Camp, looking from above. The camp is fairly exposed to the elements and it’s not that interesting of a camp, but it has nice views of Moshi, Arusha and the surrounding valley. The one thing I can’t stand about Karanga Camp is the number of bathrooms [...]
