Acclimatisation day...approximately 5 hours trekking!
Today is an acclimitisation day where we will walk to a point higher than Horombo Hut before descending back to camp to rest for the remainder of the day. This is a tried and tested acclimatisation practise which will help our bodies to adjust to the altitude. We will reap the benefits from this later on in the trek.

We will set off after breakfast and head along the upper Kibo trail through rocky mountain vegetation to 'Zebra Rock' at an altitude of 4,000m. From here we continue to an observation point at 4,200m (13,780ft) to experience spectacular view of Kibo Hut, the twin peaks and the trail to the summit. We then return back to camp for lunch and time to be build strength for the days ahead.
