You'll reach the prominent top of the Lava Tower, our highest point for the day and a great place to enjoy your lunch.

Our day begins with the descent to the Gran Barranco, a huge gorge. Then we come out steeply, up the Great Wall of the Ravine, which separates us from the southeastern slopes of Kibo. It's a climb up rocks, not technical, but long and tiring. We drive under the Heim and Kersten glaciers towards the Karanga Valley. From here we have a steep climb from Karanga valley to Karanga camp. You can opt for an acclimatization hike at around 4,200m in the afternoon before returning to camp for the night.

We start our trek to Barafu Camp which is not far from Karanga Camp. The hike takes us through lonely, sunny slopes without any vegetation around us. It's a tough and steep hike, made difficult by the altitude. Once at camp we eat and spend the afternoon resting as we prepare for a long night and day. It's important to stay hydrated and warm. We have an early dinner and then try to get some sleep as the will be up between 11pm and 12pm to begin the climb to the top of Uhuru Peak.
