Today's trek takes you from the forest into the moorland zone. The trail steepens and opens up to vast, open vistas. You'll cross several streams before reaching Shira Camp (3,845m), situated on a plateau with stunning views of Kibo Peak.

This day is crucial for acclimatization. You'll hike to Lava Tower (4,630m) and then descend to Barranco Camp (3,960m). The hike through the alpine desert showcases dramatic landscapes and unique vegetation. The descent helps your body adjust to the altitude.

Climb the Barranco Wall, an impressive but non-technical rock scramble, and traverse glacial valleys to reach Barafu Camp (4,640m). The camp offers magnificent views of the summit. Rest early in preparation for the summit attempt.

Begin your summit push around midnight. Trekking through the night, you'll reach Stella Point (5,739m) at dawn, and then continue to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa. After celebrating your achievement, descend to Mweka Camp (3,110m) for a well-deserved rest.

The final descent takes you through the lush rainforest to Mweka Gate. After receiving your summit certificates, drive back to Moshi for a celebratory meal and some much-needed relaxation.
