Itinerary description
Environment: Rocky Desert
The day starts as all others, with an early morning start and a breakfast. After several hours of hiking through a seemingly martian landscape, you will reach the Barafu hut. This is the last place you will sleep before making your ascent! You will feel the excitement in the air; this area is cold, barren, and exposed, so be careful and do not walk around your tent at night unless you are already familiar with the nearest area. After dinner and briefing, you will try to go to bed around 7 pm and rest for several hours. Around 11:30 pm / midnight, you will awake to embark on the moment
you've been waiting for: the ascent to Uhuru peak at 5895 meters.
