Climbing Kilimanjaro - The Marangu Route

The Mangaru ('Coca-Cola') track is vast and you stay in huts with many people.

Mandara Hut 2720m, Horombo 3780m, Kibo 4700m. 5896m. Smaller Mt. Cook.

Hundreds of porters with tin boxes and bags on their heads will pass you.

The sun will shine African goodness if you dance the cloud-clearing dance.

The desert has snow and dark rocks. Lava statues and a superbowl skyline merge in the Alpine desert.

Between 2.30pm and 11pm in Kibo, time slows and going to the bathroom at 4700m is breathless.

At 3am in Africa, Bob Marley's music warms. No silence under cold stars
