Rongai Route day 5: Kibo Camp (4700 m) - Uhuru Peak (5895 m) - Horombo Hut (3720 m)

At midnight you start the final summit push to the Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa! Be prepared, you walk for about 12 hours on this intense day! Once you have reached Gilman’s Point through a steep climb with your flashlight, Uhuru Peak is relatively easy to reach. You will witness one of the most beautiful sunrises and celebrate your achievement, then go back down to the Kibo huts to have a meal before continuing the descent to Horombo huts for an overnight stay.
