Porters are an integral part of our African journey.
They become friends and provide insight into African culture and society. Their warm and energetic nature is a wonderful aspect of the climb. We travel by jeep to the Machame trail head. The drive winds through cultivated coffee fields and small forests of ferns and flowers. The environment changes from heath forest to moor lands.
