From Moir we traverse across the slopes of Kibo. Here relatively little flora or fauna can survive the extreme temperature ranges and conditions that typify this zone. Lunch is normally taken close to Lava Tower(Alt 4,600m, 15,092ft) and for those that feel very strong there is an optional ascent of Lava Tower before descending down to Barranco camp(Alt 3,910m , 12,828ft) in the afternoon.

Today is another half day ascending to Barafu camp (Alt 4,600m, 15,092ft). Once again lunch is taken in camp allowing plenty of time to relax before the summit bid. Desolate alpine desert and at times strong winds rip over this camp and yet in the evening splendid views of Mawenzi volcano are the norm. Overnight Barafu Camp (full board).

Most people depart just before midnight for the final summit bid. Patience and persistence is the name of game to reach the summit and by dawn as the first rays of light start to appear, most arrive near the rim. Ascending via Stella Point (Alt 5,750m, 18,865ft) affords a relatively short final section to Uhuru peak (Alt 5,895m, 19,341ft) the Roof of Africa! What goes up must come down and your goal today is to reach Mweka camp (Alt 3,100m, 10,171ft). Overnight Mweka Camp (full board).
