Itinerary description
Partimos temprano de Marangu después de un buen desayuno en el Babilon lodge (la "spanish omelette" que no falte en nuestro refrigerio) y por carretera asfaltada ,con muy poco tráfico ,fuimos atravesando las siguientes aldeas : Mwika, Mkuu , Mrere, Kirongo,al principio mantenemos una fantástica vista de la cumbre del Kilimanjaro a nuestra izquierda para ir perdiéndolo mientras ciclamos hacia el norte en dirección a Mandara, Rongai, a partir de este pueblo y al llegar a una gran rotonda tomamos a la izquierda ascendiendo un puerto más que importante para seguir por Endoinet, Tarakea, . Después de esta última aldea se pasa un puesto de control de policía y aquí termina el asfalto. Seguimos la ruta marcada por nuestro track que nos confunde y nos lleva a través de bosques en la buena dirección pero se nos hizo noche profunda,con el correspondiente peligro pues atravesábamos zona de animales peligrosos.Gracias a la hospitalidad de una familia Masai pudimos dormir esa noche en una de sus chozas, nos dieron de cenar y el impagable cobijo para dos "perdidos".
We left Marangu early after a good breakfast at the Babilon lodge (the "Spanish omelette" that does not miss our luncheon) and by paved road, with very little traffic, we went through the following villages: Mwika, Mkuu, Mrere, Kirongo, At the beginning we keep a fantastic view of the summit of Kilimanjaro on our left to be lost while we cycled north towards Mandara, Rongai, from this town and when we reach a large roundabout we take the left ascending a port more than important to follow by Endoinet, Tarakea,. After this last village a police checkpoint is passed and here the asphalt ends. We follow the route marked by our track that confuses us and takes us through forests in the right direction but it became a deep night, with the corresponding danger as we crossed the area of dangerous animals. Thanks to the hospitality of a Masai family we were able to sleep that night in one of their huts, they gave us dinner and the priceless shelter for two "lost".
