Start the day with an early breakfast before tackling the Barranco Wall climb. We advise setting out early to avoid crowds, which can impede progress. The ascent of the gorge wall is relatively straightforward, taking about an hour, after which you can rest and capture photos of the Kibo volcano.
Following this, you’ll face a more challenging hike to Karanga Camp, marked by several ascents and descents. Rest assured that our guides are adept at managing the group’s pace. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm lunch, then proceed with an acclimatization hike towards Barafu Camp, gaining 200 meters (656 feet) in altitude before returning to Karanga Camp.
