Kilimanjaro - Rongai Route - day 4

We are going from Kikelewa Cave (3600m) to Mawenzi Tarn camp (4330m) - its getting much
 colder.

The days consist of washing in a bowl of water, having a great breakfast, packing up your personal belongings and being ready on time to get walking! Then eat, walk, eat, sleep.(Good life)

The porters are wonderful and work very hard, they basically get up really early, prepare food and then break camp and pack up our tents and carry our rucksacks! I felt for them every day as they zoomed past us walking at a pace much faster than ours and carrying up to 20kgs on their heads! I guess its one way to earn a living.


Dad taking a picture of Mawenzi mountain, spectacular!
Mwenzi camp, very cold, it actually snowed for a while but the ever faithful sun came out after to warm us up.
