West Kilimanjaro Farmstead: Trip III

Awesome sunset. 
For Ana's birthday we chose to go to the farmstead on west Kilimanjaro for the combination of the food and birding. The only downside is due to the elevation, camping was chilly!!!

It had been a few weeks since we went up for our last trip (Trip I, Trip II) but the rains had all but vanished in that area. It was still green but not as lush and not nearly as muddy as our last trip.

We absolutely love the farmstead and we were in luck as we were the only guests that weekend so the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were extra lucky as the afternoon cleared up and we were able to see fabulous clear views of Mt. Kilimanjaro from the very unfamiliar western perspective. In addition, because of the elevation, the mountain appears less like a full on mountain rather it is just a little nub for a peak. Very cool!
