Shira Camp, 3800m

We woke on day 2 to find Kili in clear view high above us.

Our first view of Kili peak (from Machame Camp, early morning, 9 Aug)

Our trek on day 2 was shorter, but much steeper, and took us up another 800m to Shira Camp where we are again lost in the clouds.

Steep trail up from Machame Camp towards Shira Camp

But no rain on the trek today and many warm sunny spells along the way with some glimpses of beautiful scenery. Food on the mountain continues to be great, and our guides, cooks and porters are all excellent.

Heavy rain did eventually arrive, late in the afternoon, but at least today we had tents for shelter so did not get quite so wet!
