Sleep may be difficult, but lie down after dinner to try and rest for the 1295m final ascent.
- Day 8 Barafu Camp - Mweka Camp At midnight, begin the summit trek. Conquer the rim of the main crater, then cross the scree and snow to Uhuru Peak. Descend to Mweka Camp. This stretch is the longest, and the most mentally and physically challenging of the trek. But the feeling of conquering Kilimanjaro will stay with you forever.
