After breakfast and briefing, drive to Londorossi Park Gate (about a 3-hour drive). From here, a forest track requiring a 4WD vehicle leads to Lemosho Glades. Walk along forest trails to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) Campsite. In the forest, exotic moss and flowers delight the eye while bird calls entertain the ear. You may see black and white Colobus monkeys as well as signs of elephants that travel in this area. We will overnight at the camp in the forest.

After breakfast, we will continue as the trail gradually steepens and enters the giant heather moorland zone. As we leave the Montane Forest and enter the Hagenia zone, our views open and we will catch our first views of the Kibo peak. This is a good acclimatization hike as we go up and down several ridges along the way to our highest point of the day at 11,500 before descending to camp.

From the Shira Plateau, we'll continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the Shark’s Tooth. after the tower, we will come to the second junction which goes to the arrow glacier. continue to Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.
