A short rest is taken to enjoy the sunrise over Mawenzi. Those feeling well can continue slowly for a two-hour round trip along the crater rim to the main peak (5,895 m), the highest point in Africa. After a few moments to appreciate the achievement, the descent to Barafu is remarkably fast, with a stop at Barafu Camp for refreshments before continuing to Mweka Camp.
