Kili Entry 3 - The Five Zones

Written By Katarina Belisle

CAMP 2 (HOMEBASE) - MOORLAND. Kilimanjaro is divided into 5 zones:

1. CITY region
2. RAINFOREST with moss and monkeys
3. MOORLAND highland
4. DESERT dust
5. PEAK with eternal snow and glacier

We brought instruments, journals, and books, thinking we would make use of them. But a lesson in altitude is that you are focusing on the basic needs of survival - eating, resting, sleeping, bathroom breaks, and symptom management. Not the self-actualization part of the Maslow Pyramid we usually fulfill on voyages.
