Today’s hike takes 5-6 hours, starting with a steep climb where you might begin to feel the altitude as you catch your first glimpse of Kilimanjaro’s Mawenzi Peak. After a while, you arrive at the first cave, where you have some time to explore. Lunch is taken in the second cave. In the afternoon, the climb gets less steep and you finish the hike towards the camp in a sheltered valley near Kikelewa or the third cave.
