Day 2: The Enchanted Forest


After lunch, we continued our trek to the Shira plateau. The remaining distance to the camp was about the same as what we had done earlier in the morning, but was much easier in terms of effort. We were now essesntially hiking west along the slopes of Kilimanjaro with relatively little change in elevation.

A dense fog rolled in over the earthy landscape that surrounded us. Old man's beard covered the gnarlled vegetation that we walked through.
