<p>Meet your guide and porters before you begin your hike from the NaleMoru village. The small winding path crosses maize fields before entering a pine forest and then climbs gently through a forest. The trail is not at all steep but is rather a gentle hike through the beautiful country. The first night's camp is at First Cave, at about 2,600 meters. There is a toilet and a wooden table with benches, but no hut. Water can be found just down the trail below First Cave.

<p>Habitat: Moorlands The trail continues up towards Kibo, passing Second Cave (3450m) en-route, and reaching Kikelwa Cave at about 3600 meters. The views start to open up and you begin to feel you're on a really big mountain! Water is in the obvious stream below the cave, although you might have to wander downhill a way to find some. Overnight at 3rd Cave camp (Kikelewa Caves). Budget camping</p> <ul class="list list--icon list--icon-arrow list--icon-nopadding txt--small txt--grey"> <li>Mt Kilimanjaro</li> </ul>

Day 5 Kibo hut (4700m) - summit Uhuru Peak (5895m) - Horombo hut (3720m)
<p>Habitat: Stone scree and ice-capped summit. You will rise around 23h30, and after some tea and biscuits, you shuffle off into the night. This is where the going really gets tough. The first section of the trail consists of a rocky path to the Hans Meyer Cave (5150m), also a good resting spot. The path then zigzags up to Gillman's point (5 681m), which is located on the crater rim. From Gillman's Point, you will normally encounter snow all the way up to Uhuru peak (5895m), the highest point in Africa. Total exhilaration and satisfaction - you made it. Weather conditions on the summit will determine how long you can spend, taking photographs, before the 3-hour descent back to Kibo hut. After a short rest, you gather all your gear for the ascent and head down to Horombo hut (3 hours) where you will overnight.
