A newer route on Kilimanjaro, more remote an arguably more beautiful. We start the hike from the Londorossi Gate, we start in a beautiful rain forests, through moorlands. We head across the Shira plateau on day 3 to connect with the Machame route at Lava Tower. Then a small descent which takes us on to Barranco Valley via the Southern circuit.
Barranco wall is a lot of peoples most favourite part of the hike. We head up, passing the famous kissing rock, ascending up to the Karanga valley.
The terrain from here is very moonlike and desolate and quite an easy hike on to Barafu camp for the evening. After food and a little rest, we have an early 1am morning start to push for the summit - Uhuru Peak. The climb is difficult, steep and will test you mentally and physically. The summit will be reached after 6/7 hours and you will be greeted with the most beautiful sunrise over Africa.
This route has a higher success rate of the summit due to more days acclimatizing to the altitude.
