 <\/p>\n

After breakfast, we leave for Mawenzi Tarn ( 14,150ft). We spend the<\/p>\n

afternoon exploring the surrounding area which will help us to acclimatize and<\/p>\n

camp for the night. (Meal Plan: Breakfast, lunch & Dinner.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 5:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0MAWENZI TARN\u00a0 ( 14,150ft) \u2013 KIBO HUT (15,000ft)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent. (Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)<\/p>\n

You will rise around 23.30hrs, and after some tea and biscuits you will shuffle off into the night. You will head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This 6-hour walk to Stella point is for many climbers, mentally and physically the most challenging on the route. At Stella Point magnificent sunsrise you are ever likely to see ( weather permitting). From Stella Point you will normally encounter snow all the way on your 2-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak. The time you will spend on the summit will depend on the weather conditions. Do not stop here too long, as it will be extremely difficult to start again\u00a0 due to cold and fatigue. Enjoy your accomplishment and a day to remember for the rest of your life. The walk back to Kibo Hut from the summit takes about 3 hours. Here you will have a well earned but short rest with tea, soup and some snacks and thereafter we collect the rest of your gear, before heading down to Horombo Hut ( 12,000ft) where we will camp there throughout the night.
