The trail slowly becomes very steep and enters the bog area, then traverses the Shira Ridge and descends gently to Shira Camp One, situated by a creek on the Shira Plateau. Early morning after breakfast we continue as the path gradually becomes steeper and enters the vast moorland area. Several creeks are crossed, then it reaches the Shira ridge and gently descends to the Shira 1 campsite, which is located near the creeks on the Shira Plateau.

Kilimanjaro

After several hours of walking now commerce you’re a walk through a rocky landscape to reach the prominent landmark called Lava Tower at 4,630 m/15,190 ft. There are plentiful photo opportunities on this hike, especially if the walls are festooned with ice. Barranco Camp is in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Walls, which should provide you with a memorable sunset while you wait for your dinner.

Day 5: Barranco to Karanga Camps

Kilimanjaro

After breakfast we continue up a steep hill to the great Muro del Barranco and then climb this great obstacle that is easier than it seems. With the Kibo Glaciers soaring overhead, descend into the lush Karanga Valley to Karanga Valley Camp. From the camp you can look east and see the craggy peaks of Mawenzi against the African sky. After two long days, remember that this short day is very important for your acclimatization as your ascent to the summit will start shortly.
