After lunch, we descended from Lava Tower (4630m) to the Barranco Campsite (3950m). The 6800m descent gave us a huge advantage to allow our bodies to adjust to the conditions of high altitude.

Living in the tents are no very comfortable.Les mer

Day 5 Karanga Camp (3959m) – Barafu Hut (4600m)

Hiking time: 2-3 hours

Distance: Approximately 4 kilometers

Habitat: Alpine desert

Back up to 4600m. The trail intersects with the Mweka Route, which is the trail used to descend on the final two days. The word “barafu” in Swahili means “ice” and this camp is located on a rocky, exposed ridge. Tents will be exposed to wind and rocks.

The food was always interesting and it's unbelievable what the chef can dish up. This is after 5 days of walking and all has to be carried

In bed by 1900.Les mer

Day 6 Ascent : Uhuru Peak - Barafu camp

Uhuru Peak (5895m) – Batavia camp (4600m)
