Massive groundsel and lobelia appear in the arid heath. The journey to Kibo takes between five and seven hours. Passing Mawenzi Peak, you pass Last Water Point, then cross an arid, almost lunar landscape to Saddle, a vast tundra desert between the two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. Here you have a fantastic view of the high mountain ranges before reaching Kibo Hut (4,705m), a dry-stone hut with sleeping quarters and limited facilities.
Tonight, prepare for tomorrow's final assault - THE SUMMIT - and pack up to leave all non-essential items with porters. You have to expend all your energy to reach the top, so there's absolutely no point in wearing something you don't need! An early night is imperative as you need to start at midnight to reach the Kilimanjaro hiking summit in the morning before the cloud cover dissipates and then have time to return to the hut.
