Trek 4‐ Barranco camp (12,959ft)‐ Karanga camp (14,928ft)‐ 1,969 vertical feet
Hiking time: 4‐5 hours
Distance: About 8.1 miles
Habitat: Alpine desert
After spending a night at the Great Barranco Wall, we will proceed to make our way up this awesome looking obstacle. Hikers find that in the end this normally turns out easier than anticipated. Topping out just below the Heim Glacier, we will now appreciate just how beautiful Kilimanjaro really is. The route then heads down through the Karanga Valley crossing the last water point over intervening ridges and valleys and then joins up with the Mweka route. This is the preferred route down from the summit, so take note. We will finish with dinner and an overnight Karanga Valley Camp.
