Elevation: 4703m to 5895m, Down 3720m, Distance: 6km up, 15km down, Time: 6-8 hours up, Habitat: Alpine Desert.

Wake at midnight for a light breakfast then prepare for your summit ascent. Be aware of that as you have to climb to the summit in dark you need to keep your headlamps /flashlights with you. It would be too cold till descending, hence pack up all the warm clothes you have. Your goal is to reach at Uhuru shortly before or after sunrise and yet you need to proceed slowly, so that you can do it easily. You would have to reach at the Gilman’s point on the crater rim at 5685m between 4 and 6 a.m. At this point you will have a view of the fabled crater and its icecaps facing you. Another 2 hours trekking along the Kibo crater rim would take you to the true summit “the Uhuru peak” where you will spend some times for taking photos, then descend to the Kibo huts where you would have your lunch and rest. After taking rest, you continue down to the Horombo huts for overnight.
