Simba Rock

Simba Rock is a big attraction in Dodoma. It seems everyone has climbed it at one time or another. When asked if we had climbed it, we both responded "no" and that we probably would not. Imagine my surprise this morning, when Ed announced he wanted to climb Simba Rock "while it was still cool". I really didn't want to do it, but decided I would go along. We live about 2 miles from the base where the climb started.

We struck out on our own and followed trails up to the ledge marked in the photo. There is a way to the top, but the trails we had taken seemed to dead-end.

 

This is a picture of our neighborhood and after zooming in, we could pin-point our house. Ed did go a little farther up than I did, but his trail was a dead-end.

 

Because our kids would never believe we made this climb, we took this photo from where we ended up.

 

Would we do it again? Who knows?
