We arranged with the porters to make an early start today, for the walk back to the Mweka Gate and our transport back to Moshi. The route involves almost 2000m of descent through varied terrain but mostly now on a good path.
Some of the porters had carried fresh bread, a luxury, up the hill to our camp the previous night along with tins of Baked Beans which became part of our breakfast for the day. Just before we set off to complete our trek the local guides and porters sang to the group with Kilimanjaro as the backdrop.
The terrain we pass through is both interesting and varied and part of the group stopped to watch a group of monkeys in trees very close to the path. Many interesting plants were also observed and eventually our journey ended at the gats of the park.
Before we left the park it was necessary for everyone to complete formalities at the gate to finish our trek and receive our certificate. It was then off to the Glacier Bar for a few beers and lunch. The remainder of the group who had returned to Moshi early re-joined us in the bar for celebrations.
On Saturday evening we all enjoyed our celebration meal in the hotel before returning to Glacier Bar for some entertainment from a local reggae band!!
