We traveled to Tanzania in September 2011 to climb Kilimanjaro (19,340'). This blog tracks the planning and training process for the trek and shares some thoughts on the adventure. It is a definite bucket list adventure. If you have ever dreamed of climing Kilimanjaro, strap on your pack and get planning. You won't regret it.

Drive to Rongai Gate
Team Kilimanjaro picked us up bright and early on Saturday morning to head out on our great adventure to climb Kilimanjaro. They loaded the bags and packs onto the bus and we were off. Everyone was excited and ready to get on with the climb. We just had to make it through the 6 hour bus ride to the Rongai trailhead gate, including a stop for last minute supplies at a local mini-mart, and a stop at the Marangu gate for paperwork and permits. By the time we reached the trailhead, picked the porters, weighed the bags, and ate lunch, I was exhausted. It was going to be a long day.
