Kili – to Baranco camp (3950m)

Message from Sean last night was that they were all settled in at Umbwe campsite.  One of the climbers – John Wouters’ gear bag hadn’t arrived from his long haul flight so John’s had to borrow gear – they’re all mixing and matching and doing well. It poured down yesterday nearly drowning them – the route was a river said Sean.  They ended the day with Tilapia fish for dinner.

Today, the group will start the ascent with a packed lunch to Baranco camp. Shortly after leaving the camp the forest starts thinning and is replaced by rockier terrain, sparser undergrowth and straggly, moss-covered trees. The path continues along a narrow, spectacular ridge and over rocky sections towards the Moorland zone. Dinner and overnight at Baranco camp (3950m).
