It’s a challenging steep walk, made more difficult by the altitude. Upon arrival at camp, you will eat and rest in preparation for the long night and day ahead. Staying hydrated and warm is crucial.

Ensure all gear, including warm clothes, headlamp, insulated water reserves, and snacks, are ready for a prompt departure at midnight. The trek up Kibo is steep and slow, requiring steady momentum, one step at a time. It takes about 6-8 hours to reach the crater rim’s top, where the Stella Point sign (5,739 meters) is located. Another 156 meters of altitude remains to reach Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters). After summiting Kilimanjaro, a 4.5km / 3 mile ascent, an 11km / 7 mile descent to Mweka Camp (3,100 meters) follows.
