Kilimanjaro day#8
The final day, down to Mweka Gate, through the forest. A big shout out to our guides and porters here whose hard work made it all so much more manageable.

Kilimanjaro day #7 summit
Set off at 11pm and ascended through the night towards the summit. One loses all track of time during a night ascent and the dawn is like waking up. We reached Stellar Point as dawn was breaking and the final walk along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak was spectacular.…

Kilimanjaro day #4
Another short walk but altitude is now at 4315m. This affected some of the group. Heading towards the impressive Mount Mawenzi we passed Kilimanjaro trees, and reached Mawenzi Tarn. It had dried up. It has been exceptionally dry this season so only a dust bowl was to be seen.
