A wind that smells of cold stone and wet earth pushes at your jacket as you step out of the vehicle at Machame Gate. The rainforest swallows sound behind you — birds, the hush of ferns — and the path immediately begins to climb, cutting into a green corridor that will, over six days, give way to moorland, semi-desert and a brittle alpine crown.
