We will take an acclimatization hike to Lava Tower for lunch, before descending to the Barranco valley. There’s the possibility to scramble up the prominent volcanic formation itself. It's essential to stay hydrated and monitor for any signs of altitude sickness while at Lava Tower.

The trail descends towards Barranco Camp and the descend involves navigating rocky terrain and may require careful footing.

Later we enter the scenic Karanga Valley which is characterized by a mix of alpine desert landscapes with rocks, low vegetation, and stunning views of glaciers on the upper slopes of Kilimanjaro. The trail meanders through this valley as climbers gradually gain elevation.

The trail from Karanga Camp (3995 meters) to Barafu Camp (4673 meters) is a crucial part of the Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, as it marks the final ascent before the summit attempt.

The trail involves both ascending and traversing across rocky and alpine desert terrain. As we progress, the landscape transforms into an alpine desert, characterized by loose scree, volcanic rocks, and minimal vegetation.

While the terrain may be challenging, the views of the surrounding glaciers and the crater rim become increasingly spectacular. We may have clear views of the summit, Uhuru Peak, as we ascend, providing motivation for the final push.

We spend the remainder of the day at Barafu Camp, resting and preparing for the summit night.

The trail from Barafu Camp (4673 meters) to Uhuru Peak (5895 meters) and then descending to Mweka Camp (3068 meters) is the final and most challenging part of the Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro.

The ascent to Uhuru Peak typically begins in the late evening or early morning from Barafu Camp, so we start the ascent with headlamps, navigating the steep and challenging terrain in darkness.

After several hours of ascent, we reach Stella Point, which is on the crater rim and is often considered a significant milestone, and climbers may experience the first light of dawn, providing awe-inspiring views of the surrounding glaciers and landscapes.

From Stella Point, we continue along the crater rim to reach Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro, which offers breathtaking panoramic views, and we may witness the sunrise over the African continent.
