Day 8 - Today we will have an early start and make our way up to Kibo Hut. After an early meal and briefing, we catch some sleep before our midnight departure for the summit climb.

Day 9 - We leave at around midnight for our long, steady trek up to Gilman's Point. We hope to reach Gilman's Point at dawn, for an incredible sunrise over the African plains.From here it is a 2 hour walk to the highest point in Africa, the summit of Kilimanjaro at 5,895m.

After reaching the summit we descend to our overnight camp at Horombo. This is a long and tiring day, involving up to 20 hours of walking, but well worth it for the feeling of achievement and stunning views.
