Today, we were woken up by the sun at around 6:30 a.m. Since there was no point in trying to sleep for an extra 30 minutes, we decided to start packing right away—a necessary choice given that it took us almost an hour to pack up everything, including our tent, just in time for breakfast […]

Today, we woke up early and enjoyed one last free shower before heading down for breakfast with all our equipment. We made the most of the buffet breakfast before loading up onto Alele’s Land Rovers.

Today started early at 7 a.m. We rushed to get everything ready, including dealing with the inconvenience of fixing a bathroom leak from the day before.

Today I woke up early and decided to get ahead on my logistics before having to go to the hospital to get checked out. I ended up calling my insurance to start getting everything sorted, and managed to get my flight changed for free to leave the next day. After breakfast, I met with someone […]

Today I woke up not feeling so great after having had a difficult night, where I felt sick nd couldn’t drink any liquids in the night/ sleep throughout the night. I went to breakfast to see the group and talk to my guide so he could give me some recommendations on what to do. After […]

Today we woke up at 5:45 am, and straight away had to pack all of our stuff and tent, ready for our 6:30 am breakfast. Following breakfast at 7, we started walking down to the river where we were met by some mules. The mule driver armed with his 3 mules, ferried us 2 by […]
