Today we are brought back to the Original Maasai Lodge. But on Sunday, on the way we attend the service in the local church of Madebe in the Maasai land.
Once more waiting in the morning ...
... for the sunrise ...
... to the right behind Kilimandscharo.

We left the Sacred site and are on our way to Madebe. Sometimes, getting ahead is inhibited a bit.
It takes some time to pass by.
Ways are partly flooded after recent rain, so even the big car only can drive very slowly.
Ngare Nanjuki river has multiple artificial branchings of water the area has very fertile soil.

A short stop in the bush at the drive back to the Original Maasai Lodge.
A small lunch is served.
Animals get water at the river, children are bathing.
At rain season, the river sometimes grows so much that children cannot pass it on their way to school. So, the Simba Vision Primary school has rooms for bording where children may stay until the water is down again.
Washing.
This evening, the clouds on Kilimandscharo are dissolving only hesitantly.
Kilimandscharo with a few residual clouds, ...
... which sometimes ...
... wrap the mountain once more nearly completely.
During the night, the moon is shing this day enlighting the summit which is free now.
