Following a nourishing breakfast, we bid farewell to Barranco Camp and progress along a steep ridge, navigating past the imposing Barranco Wall. Our trail leads us to the Karanga Valley campsite, situated at 4,200m/13,800ft. This leg of the journey spans 7 km and takes approximately 4 hours. The Karanga Camp offers a vital water source, preparing you for the subsequent days. On Day 5, you’ll further trek from the Karanga Valley Camp to the Barafu Camp, setting the stage for the summit on Day 6, with the descent culminating on Day 7.

Awakening from a night under the formidable Great Barranco Wall, your journey unfolds as you conquer this impressive obstacle, revealing its deceptive ease. Reaching just below the Heim Glacier, you’re treated to a breathtaking perspective, truly appreciating Kilimanjaro’s beauty. Descend through the Karanga Valley, traversing ridges and valleys to connect with the Mweka Route, your designated descent path. The South Circuit, completed at this stage, provides diverse summit views from multiple angles.

However, the focus remains on the summit. Turn left and ascend the ridge for another hour to reach Barafu Hut, situated at 4,550m/14,930ft. The last water source on the route is in the Karanga Valley; Barafu Camp, despite its Swahili translation meaning “ice,” lacks water. Your tent will be perched on a narrow, stony, wind-swept ridge, emphasizing the need to familiarize yourself with the terrain before nightfall. Prepare your gear and cold-weather attire for the impending summit climb, including fresh headlamp and camera batteries. To prevent freezing, consider storing water in a thermal flask. Retire early by 7 PM, aiming to secure a few crucial hours of rest before the summit ascent.

• Elevation (ft): From 10,000ft to 5,400ft
