6-days Mt. Kilimanjaro Machame route Solo Hike in Tanzania
July 14 to July 21, 2014
July 14 to July 21, 2014
Mt. Kilimanjaro Machame Day-2; Machame Camp to Shira Camp
This day looks the toughest day of all; the distance to be covered is 13kms in duration of about 7hours. After breakfast, the route now turns east into a semi desert and rocky landscape surrounding Lava Tower, where you reach an altitude of 4,600m after about a 5 hours walk. Lunch is served in a designated area before ascending the rocky path to Lava Tower (4,600m). It is normally around this point, where for the first time, some climbers will start to feel symptoms of breathlessness, irritability and headaches. After lunch you descent again by almost 680m to the Barranco camping area and after reaching the high altitude of 4,600m at Lava Tower, the true secret of acclimatization becomes clear. This 2 hours descent to Barranco camp offers great opportunities to take some beautiful snap shots of the Western Breach and Breach Wall. The camp is situated in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Wall, which should provide you with a memorable as you wait for dinner.
DAY 3: SHIRA CAMP (3,980m) TO LAVA TOWER (4,600m) TO BARRANCO CAMP (3,940m) Semi-desert trail (7-8hrs)

It's normal for a wide range of summer day camps and short-term day camps to save a specific number of spots for families who could not in any case have the option to bear to send their kid to conventional day camp. In the event that they don't propose to sponsor the full expense of the camp meeting, they might pay part of it. valutazione camper caravans international
