Welcome to Camp

Jambo friends. . . Well it is day 4 here at the Kilimanjaro Bush Camp. This is one of those experiences I feel quite confident that I will never have the opportunity to have again. I awake each morning in my banda (a glorified hut), crawl out of my mosquito net & walk outside to be faced with Mt. Kilimanjaro staring back. There is a quiet here that is unfamiliar, yet extremely welcoming, just like the people. Working within the Maasai population, we have unprecedented access to a very private & fascinating group of people. The first day we journeyed to the market in the nearby town of Kimana. The curiosity on both sides, they to us, and us to them, was certainly high. An adventure seems to find us around every corner, elephants sneaking into our camp is a constant reality, & I think my own reactions are surprising. Being invited into this world is such a privilege & just opening your capacity & your mind to this life has been so moving already. T.I.A. friends, T.I.A.
