July 14 to July 21, 2014

Mt. Kilimanjaro Machame Day-5; Barafu to Uruhu Peak to Millenia Camp

This is the last bit of the trip, it's a 15kms walk. After an early and well-deserved breakfast, it is a short 3-hour and scenic hike back to the Park gate. At Mweka gate climbers receive their summit certificates. Those climbers who reached Stella Point (5685m) are issued with green certificates and those who reached Uhuru Peak (5895m) receive gold certificates. From the Mweka Gate another 3hours muddy walk takes you to Mweka village. Enjoy a delicious hot lunch. Drive back to Arusha for a long overdue hot shower, dinner and celebrations. Overnight at Sakina camp.
