29./30.1.2025: Flight and first evening in the Original Maasai Lodge.

During the approach for landing on my flight from Addis Ababa to the Kilimandsharo Airport we pass by Mount Meru vorbei, which has a rare cap of snow to that time.

Shower hanging on Mount Meru, beneath are houses of Arusha.

30.1.2025: Rain shower at the lodge, with frequent thunder. Tomorrow I will learn, that there is a heavy pourdown in Momella, some 20 km (road) from here.

This is unusual for this season; people here say that climate change is bringing more rain to eastern Africa.

Rain over Mount Meru.

On the opposite side to Kilimandscharo it stays dry.

Nice evening light later on, ...

 ... when the Maasai are dancing on the hill. 

The prominent peak is Mount Mukuru, the"holy peak" of the Maasai.
