It didn’t work out with our driver (“the longest two hours I ever waited was three days” said our friend, which turned out to be true for us as well) so we ended up taking the bus from Dar to Moshi -- it was uneventful except the one hour wait at the weigh station (all buses and trucks had to queue up to ensure they were light enough to get over the bridge). We found a cute place with a balcony that looked out to Mt. Kilimanjaro! The best part was splurging for air conditioning and Internet, yeah!!!!!!!!! We considered hiking Kilimanjaro, but as our friend Steven says, “If you can’t climb Kilimanjaro, then drink it!” (Kilimanjaro is a brand of beer).
If you did not climb Mount Kilimanjaro then I would most certainly go back and climb it should you ever get the chance to go back to Tanzania. If you didn't wish to climb to the top you could have gone on a safari and had your own adventure.
