We are still waiting for luggage. Guess we will have to shop. oh well. below is itinerary for the day. internet silence after today. I have posted general trek itinerary which I will update.
Trek 1
Hiking time: 7 hours
Distance: About 11.2 miles
Habitat: Montane forest
Day starts early with a briefing from the tour organizer and the guides followed by 70‐
minute drive from the Hotel in Moshi (910m) to the Machame village (1490m). The guides and
porters prepare and pack the supplies and your equipment in the village. We will receive a lunch pack and buy water in the village. Depending on the condition of the road, it is
possible to drive from the village to the Machame gate, but if not, the muddy 1 km walk will take
about 30minutes to complete. After registering at the gate office, we start our ascent and
enter the rain forest almost immediately. There is a strong possibility of rain in the forest, which
will transform the trail into a very foggy, muddy and slippery experience. We will have a
welcome lunch stop about half way and will reach the Machame camping area in the late
afternoon. Your porters (arriving at the camp site long before you) will have our tents set up on
our arrival. In the evening the porters will boil drinking and washing water and the cook will
prepare dinner, before we retire to your tent for the night. Night temperatures can drop to
freezing at this Machame campsite. We are prepared for this.
