Lunch will be served midway, and the climb will continue towards Mandara Hut (2715m), where you will arrive late in the afternoon. Upon reaching the hut, you can rest or opt for a guided trip to Maundi Crater, offering a breathtaking view of Tanzania's northern parts and the Kenyan interior.

Beyond the water point, you will enter the saddle, an almost desert-like terrain connecting the peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. Lunch will be served before entering the saddle. Upon arrival at Kibo Hut, you will be served an early dinner and advised to rest as you will be woken around 23:00 to begin the final ascent to the summit, Uhuru Peak.
