You will traverse the southwest side of Kilimanjaro, passing underneath the Lava Tower and the final section of the Western Breach, finally reaching Barranco Camp (3900 m). The day has been spent at altitude (up to 4600 m), but you will have followed the mountaineering code of ‘walk high, sleep low’ to avoid altitude sickness by aiding your bodies in acclimatization.

Start the day by descending into the start of the Great Barranco, a huge ravine.

Then exit steeply, up what has been termed the Breakfast Wall, which divides you from the southeastern slopes of Kibo.

It is a climb over rocks, although not technical. Passing underneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers, head towards the Karanga Valley (4000 m) for overnight.

Trekking Time: 4-5 hours

Distance: 5 km

Day 6 Barafu Camp - Uhuru Peak – Millennium Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barafu Camp - Uhuru Peak – Millennium Camp

We avoid walking too long in the heat of the sun today by starting around midnight, walking steeply upwards to the summit glaciers. You will be climbing scree for 5 to 6 hours but you gain incredible height over a short distance. The views are spectacular.

You should be on the crater rim at Stella Point (5750 m) as the first rays of the sun emerge.

Spectacular ice cliffs within the crater surround you and the views to Mawenzi peak and beyond are breathtaking.

Another hour’s walk takes you to your goal, the summit of Uhuru (5896 m), the highest point; Uhuru means freedom in Swahili. Trekking Time: 6-8 hours

Distance: 7 km

Altitude Gain: 1296 m.

After a quick celebration and photos at the top, you will begin the descent by returning to Stella Point and then descending on scree slope back to Barafu Camp for breakfast and a short rest before finally heading down to Millennium Camp (3000 m) for a well-earned rest. On the descent, you will have fabulous views of the plains and Mawenzi peak.
