Saturday I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Kind of. We hiked to the base camp, set at an altitude of 9000 feet.
Our hike up took approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. The hike itself offered beautiful scenery.
We stopped at the base camp for lunch and pictures. We thought views would be better but this is what we could get:
Not surprising—even kids under ten are allowed to hike this particular part of the mountain. I’m still proud to say that I set foot on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro! On the bus ride back to UAACC we were able to snap some better pictures.

Our evening back at the UAACC included a wine and cheese tasting and DJ courtesy of the O’Neals. Sunday morning we said goodbye to Tanzania and headed back to Nairobi. I absolutely loved Tanzania—beautiful scenery, exciting opportunities, and kind people made the week a nice break before ISP period.
