Thursday September 8th - Day 6!

Horombo Hut - Kibo Hut; approximately 7-8 hours of trekking

This morning we set off through spectacular mountain flora and fauna including giant cacti and lobelia. We reach the Kibo saddle where we stop for a picnic lunch from where we can see our destination - Kibo Hut.

After lunch the ascent takes us beyond the water point as we enter the desert zone. This section will be touch and slow-going, as well as cold due to the high altitude. After a challenging climb we reach an altitude of 4,732m (15,525ft) before arriving at Kibo Hut where we sleep at 4,700m.
