The hike was awesome! The trails are just out of this world. The vegetation is uniquely awesome. Some of the trees that I saw on that day, either I have never seen them, or haven’t seen them again since my childhood days.
The most amazing thing is that during the entire hike, we never met with any other group. It’s like having your small haven for 5 hours, just to yourself. I don’t think I have had so much time to myself in my life. The sweating was soo refreshing. It felt like an exercise.
How did we even do over 17kms? It was really a step at a time, with no option of giving up. And I believe that is how life is…living one day at a time.
The guide was great too. The guy knows more biological names than all the people in my village, combined. His words of encouragement ensured that we all finished the trail in one piece. He also assisted all of us, especially when we went to the fall. The guy is so fit that he never took any food or water during the entire trail. I want to be that someday.
I am looking forward to more trails with Hikers Afrique. I would wish to meet the entire team someday. Next time, I will carry snacks plus extra, share with everyone, and maybe some fruits and juice.
