There's a mountain that you may have heard of called Mt. Kilimanjaro. Most people just get in a private car, ride to the gate, spend around $1000 and then hike the mountain for the next 10 days. I had different plans, especially since I didn't have $1000. It was a hike in of itself just walking through the villages to the gate, so I decided to spend the day on that. Along the way I was shocked by the kindness and curiosity of the Chagga villagers I met. Great people to have some banana beer with.
If you're planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, look up David when you arrive at Marangu Gate. He can escort and if nothing else just give you a short walking tour!

Hiking is good for the soul. So is mbege. And maybe gongo too. The Maasai village is up next. At least we're not going to Karakalpakstan or Africa's worst airport.
Suggestions are always welcome.
I'll try to get to every comment. Even the ones where you insult me, those are fun too.
