    A shorter day that starts with a steep climbing to reach a small semicircular cliff known as Picnic Rock.  There are excellent views of Kibo and the jagged rim of Shira Plateau from here, and it is a good rest point too!  The trail continues less steeply to reach the Shira Plateau.  We camp at Shira Camp, which has some of the most stunning views of Kilimanjaro.

    Overnight at Barranco Camp with lunch, dinner & breakfast included.

    An early start is required (+/- 11h30pm) for the summit attempt and Uhuru Peak the highest point in Africa at 5,895m. The trail is tougher than anything that you’ve experienced on your ascend with a sustained switchback climb through steep scree. Slowly and with regular stops is the best way to do it. After Stella Point on the crater rim, it is a very short but very long walk to Uhuru Peak. SUMMIT!!!!! the highest peak in Africa. From the summit it is a sustained descend to Mweka Camp.
