Overview

Barafu Camp is the last stop before you head up to Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro. It sits high above the clouds, and most climbers arrive here a few hours before starting their final hike. The atmosphere is full of excitement and pleasure as everyone gets ready for the summit night.

This camp is pretty basic: mostly rocky ground, cold wind, and tents. People come together here and share stories and encouragement as they get ready to climb to Africa’s highest point.

Meals at Barafu are all about giving you energy for the big hike. You get hot food for dinner and snacks before you head out for the summit. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what you need.

• Brunch after you come back from the summit
