Guided hike by Tanzanian guiding company Kibo Safari Adventure. 5 days via Machame Route. El Nino conditions; heavy rain showers made the jungle section rather wet and muddy. First nigth at Machame Camp 3000 m asl, second night at Shira Plateau at app. 4000 m asl. Spectacular night show with vivid thunder and lightning at nearby Mount Meru. Day 3 passing 4500 m asl close to Lava Tower, quite an impressive altitude after just 3 days; unacclimatized. Descending to campsite in Barranco Valley at about 3900 m asl; a wonderful place. Day 4 started with Barranco Wall, a quite steep rock face with a few places close to scrambling. Short hike this day with small ascents and descents before camp in Karanga Valley, still at 3900 m asl. Weather was quite predictable; clear skies in the morning, >>>
