Excitement is erecting as morning comes with an early launch between night and 2 a.m. This is the most mentally and physically grueling portion of the journey. We continue our way to the peak between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers trying to stay warm and concentrated on the amazing sense of accomplishment that lies ahead. With a switchback stir in a northwesterly direction and lift through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater hem.

You’ll be awarded the most magnific daylight during your short rest then. Faster trampers may view the daylight from the peak. From then on, your remaining 1-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak, you’re likely to encounter snow all the way. Congratulations, one step at a time you have now reached Uhuru Peak the loftiest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire mainland of Africa! After prints, fests, and perhaps many gashes of joy we take many moments to enjoy this inconceivable accomplishment.

We begin our steep descent down to Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch and a veritably brief rest. We explosively recommend gaiters and touring poles for uncooperative loose clay and powder keg ash terrain. Well-justified rest awaits you to enjoy your last evening on the mountain. Overnight Mweka Camp.
