These are a few images from Lemosho Glades camp, one of the approaches to the Shira Plateau on the western side of Kilimanjaro. The camp is beautiful although people sometimes complain about the dusty ground (muddy when wet). However, on Kilimanjaro if it's not dusty, it's rocky, so you have to pick your poison!

Dinners are hearty, frequently feature large portions of starch (pasta or potatoes), and are nothing special until you consider that everything you're eating and eating with was carried here by porters. Then you start to appreciate this dining atmosphere!
