Hi all!

My boyfriend, another friend and I are planning a Kili trek for the end of June/beginning of July 2008 (planning to summit on 4th of July), and would be interested in having a couple others join us to possibly get costs down a tiny bit, and to meet some new people!

About our trip: we are looking at a 7-day Machame trek, and have been looking at Marangu Hotel as our possible guide.

About us: 3 Minnesotans, 1 male, 2 female, early 30s, sporty, 1 w/extensive hiking/camping experience, 1 w/average hiking/camping experience, 1 w/little hiking/camping experience. We are pretty laid back.

We would be interested in teaming up with 2-3 additional people for our climb. PM me and we can chat more. I have a few emails from Marangu Hotel I can pass along as well. They have been very helpful and responsive to our questions.

Thanks!

hi

im a winnipegger heading to do the climb in early june.

im a solo traveller. if you and your crew can change your date id love to have company. i am going with the marangu hotel. and have customized my trek. (ill be doing a night in the crater) i hope.

my flight is already booked and paid for so changing is cost prohibitive

Sorry, Doug, but unfortunately our dates are pretty set. I'll be traveling for a couple months in Africa before my friends arrive, and doing a couple weeks of an organized tour that ends in Tanzania around June 22. I've already booked my trip, so I totally understand how changing things can be cost-prohibitive! Also, since my friends are only able to come over for a few weeks, they have arranged their trip around our 4th of July holiday to maximize time off work... if for some reason you do decide to change your trip around a bit, let me know!

Thats to bad, if things change for me i will for sure let you know. id like to have some people to share the experience with. im hoping to do a 2 or 3 day safari after im done, but im going to play it by ear and see how i feel.
good luck in the trek and finding others to join up with.

Hi,
I am going to Kili the same time you are and was planning on doing the same hike you are. I am actually arriving on June 22nd but was thinking of doing Mt. Meru first to get use to the altitude. I was also looking into Marangu Hotel. Are you guys hitting any safaris afterward? Let me know what you think about joining up.

Doug, we might be climbing at the same time. I start on July 7th so see you there.
