Mt Kilimanjaro Climb
Feb 1, 2013
At last our long awaited arrival to the wild and exotic continent of Africa begins......
We flew into Kilimanjaro airport, arriving in Tanzania just before 9:00 PM local time.
With mind, body and soul we began taking everything in, the moment the warm humid air gently caressed our faces.
We were met by a Zara tour …
Exploring Moshi
Feb 2, 2013
Up and at em' bright and early, around 6:00AM was when we finally woke. We lounged around in the room for some time waiting for breakfast to commence at 7:30AM. Breakfast/dining was located in the heart of the grounds. Hotel staff greeted you at the entrance asking how many would join you. Tables typically could seat anywhere from …
Basking in the Accomplishment
Our final day! We were sung a celebration song by all our porters, guides, and waiter. Then we were off on another 3-4 hour descent down to the gates. How our legs burned and burned and any bit of uphill was a relief for our tired muscles. At the base, hoards of people selling bracelets, t-shirts, paintings etc hassled you to try and buy souvenirs …
Kilimanjaro Climb
Yesterday I returned from my 7 day climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Skipping to the punch line, I made it to the top, 19,331 ft above Africa. And the journey up there was spectacular, although it was a little long and tiring. I left the Springlands Hotel in Moshi on July 12. We drove about an hour to the Machame Gate, which was at an altitude of about …
I came, I saw, I conquered....

“ Springlands Hotel ”
Reviewed Jan 6, 2013
Solid place to stay - Everything is fine. Not bargain basement cheap but safe and friendly. Day either side of your trip to Kili or sfari or both is enough. Not much to see or do.

“ Springlands, a good spot in Moshi ”
Reviewed Jun 11, 2011
Springlands Hotel was booked for us by our Travel Agent. It's based about 3 km out of Moshi town, but was perfect. They offer lifts to/from town on a half hourly basis so didn't have any problem getting around.
Many of the staff were trainees and had a bit of a problem communicating in English but given time we managed to get our requests across. We spent 3 nights at the hotel. Each in a different room. The rooms are very basis and offer the necessary necessities. After our hike down Kilimanjaro we were very disappointed to be put up in a room with no working geyser, thus no hot water, but once moved were fine.
I think the hotel is a base for Kilimanjaro hikers which is nice ito sharing expectations and experiences.
I would recommend the hotel as it is safe, clean, and offers a variety of tours/services for it's customers.
