Day 2: Marangu gate to Mandara Hut at 2720 m

Breakfasted we left the hotel, topped up with currency and snacks at the One-Stop shop where we cleaned the shop owner out of Snickers and Red Bull and onto Marangu gate. The porters were waiting and then we all made up our minds on whether we wanted to hire climbing sticks and gators, and then a patient wait for registration into the Park...

Then on and up through beautiful forest, dripping with climbers and bearded moss. Stunning.

Mandara Hut we fed, carved our names into history and fought off the giant male mosquitos...



Always one step ahead of the style game..Nathan and Yvan buy tour hats
Karel unaware of the danger behind him!

Made it to 2720 m and Mandara Huts...our first night on the mountain
