One hourโ€™s drive from Moshi lies the gate to the Machame route, where we complete park formalities, meet our crew of porters and start to climb!

We traverse the southwest side of Kilimanjaro, passing underneath the Lava Tower and the final section of the Western Breach and finally reach camp The day has been spent at altitude (up to 4600m), but we have followed the mountaineering code of โ€˜walk high, sleep lowโ€™ to aid your bodyโ€™s acclimatization to altitude.

We then exit steeply, up the Great Barranco Wall, which divides us from the southeastern slopes of Kibo. Itโ€™s a climb over rock, not technical but long and tiring. Passing underneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers, we head towards the Karanga valley. From here we have a steep climb up from Karanga valley to our nightโ€™s camp at Karanga camp, set at 3963m. For those feeling strong we will go for a mid-afternoon acclimatization trek up to around 4200m before descending back to camp for the night.

The climb will take us across desolate scree slopes with no vegetation around us at all. Itโ€™s a tough steep walk made more difficult by the altitude. On arriving at camp we eat and spend the afternoon resting as we prepare for a long night and day ahead. It is important to keep hydrated and warm. We have an early dinner and then try to get some sleep as we will be getting up at between 11pm and 12pm to start the climb to the summit.
