  Trek through Shira 1 Camp from where there are often views of Kibo Peak floating on the clouds as you head towards your destination which is Shira 2.
  
  Gain a reasonable amount of altitude as you head towards Shira 1 and parts of the route are fairly steep.

You will reach the distinct pinnacle of the Lava Tower (4640 m), your high point for the day and a great place to enjoy your lunch.

  Begin the day by descending into the start of the Great Barranco, a huge ravine. Then exit steeply, up the Great Barranco Wall, which divides you from the southeastern slopes of Kibo. It’s a climb over rock, not technical but long and tiring.
  
  Pass underneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers and head towards the Karanga valley. From here, you have a steep climb up from Karanga valley to your night’s camp at Karanga camp, set at 3963m. For those feeling strong, you will go for a mid-afternoon acclimatization trek up to around 4200m before descending back to camp for the night.

  On arriving at camp, eat and spend the afternoon resting as you prepare for a long night and day ahead. It is important to keep hydrated and warm.

The views are spectacular. You should be on the crater rim at Stella Point (5739m) as the first rays of the sun hit. Spectacular ice cliffs within the crater surround you and the views to jagged Mawenzi peak and beyond are breathtaking.
  
  Another hour’s walking takes you to the summit, Uhuru Peak (5895m).
