Day 4: You will continue up a challenging steep ridge, past the Barranco Wall, then drop to the Karanga Valley for overnight. The trek takes 4 hours to Karanga (4200m) through Alpine Desert.
Day 5: Trek past the Mweka trail junction and continue ascending to Barafu Hut (4600m) for final preparations to conquer the summit, arriving after a long 8 hours trek. Here both peaks (Kibo and Mawenzi) are visible. We advice you to eat well and rest early.
Day 6: After a wakeup call at midnight, and a cup of tea with biscuits, ascend north-westerly through heavy scree. This challenging part of the trek takes you to Stella Point (5685m) (6hours), for a short rest and magnificent sunrise views. You then continue for another 2 hours on snow to reach the ice capped peak of Uhuru Point (5895m).
After a memorable moment at the peak, we descend down to Barafu Hut for refreshments and to allow the porters to rest, before heading down to Mweka Hut (1650m) (7-8 hours descend).
Day 7: Enjoy your final moments on Kilimanjaro with a walk in the forest towards Mweka Gate (3 -4hours) , where you will pick your certificates and be transferred back to your hotel for a long awaited Hot Shower.
Day 8: Transfer to airport or start your next tour. |
