Kick off at 3am to reach pt Lenana in time for the African sunrise The climb starts on frozen scree
and continues on a rocky track with some very minor scrambling. With a good Moon you barely
need a torch. Without a Moon, then the pollution- free sky bangs on the ground giving you as good a
view of the stars as almost anywhere on Earth.
The climb takes 3 -4 hrs and to add to the exhilaration, Mt. Kilimanjaro is also visible from the
horizon.
Descend down to Shiptons camp for breakfast, then start descending down for 4-5 hour's via
Mackinder`s valley to the OldMoses camp (3,300m)/ campsite. The descent is gentle and it offers
ample time to enjoy fascinating scenery which includes the moorlands before reaching to Old
