Now you are heading to the summit. This time the hike will start somewhere between midnight to around 2am with the aim of arriving at the peak by the sunrise. We continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. We head in a northwesterly direction and ascend towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the hike.
At Stella Point (5700m), you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting). From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascend to the summit. Good thing, the summit can be seen on eye level. At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa, so make sure to take as many pictures and make as much memories as possible. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, stopping at Barafu for lunch.
After an early and well-deserved breakfast, it is a short 4 to 6 hour and scenic hike back to the park gate. Some hikers do experience knee problems which could make the descending longer than planned. It is strongly recommended not to pay your porters any tips until you and all your gear have reached the gate safely. At Mweka gate you sign your name and details in a register. This is also where successful climbers receive their summit certificates. Climber who reached Stella Point (5739m) will received a green certificate. Others who will reached Uhuru Peak (5895m) will receive gold certificate. From the company we will provide you with completion medal as a souvenir and memory for what you achieved. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi.
