The trail leads us to Kibo Hut, located in the "Saddle" between the peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. This area is characterized by an arid and barren landscape. There is no water available at Kibo Hut, so our porters will carry water for cooking and drinking from the last water point near Horombo Hut. After an early dinner, we will rest and prepare for the summit attempt, which will take place at midnight.
