After breakfast, we leave Moshi at 10 AM, drive for 45 minutes to the Machame Gate on the eastern side of Kilimanjaro, register with the national park, and begin hiking around noon after lunch at the gate. We will walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. We continue a short distance on the heather until we reach the Machame Camp.
