Kilimanjaro Finale – Day 8, or save the best for last…

The last mountain-morning! It’s hard to not get melancholic on the last morning on Mount Kilimanjaro! After sleeping in the Crater Camp on 5790m the night before, we slept like babies at Mweka Camp on 3900m. 🙂 No more headache or coldness, but a beautiful sunny and warm morning welcomed us on our last day at the mountain. Celebration times…

Crater Camp on Mount Kilimanjaro (Day 7)

Waking up at Crater Camp… When we woke up in the Crater Camp at around 6am, we weren’t really well rested – the night on 5790m was tough and the Summit Day was still saping on our bodies! We had almost -20° Celsius and the height caused headache and vomit to us… We don`t know when we finally felt asleep,…

Kilimanjaro’s lonely summit – Uhuru Peak to Crater Camp (Day 6)

 The summit push! When we woke up in the morning of 1st January 2016 at around 6am, the first rays of sun touched our sleep-deprived faces. We spent the last night at Kosovo Camp on 4800m, which is regularly closed to the public due to pollution. That (and the fact that we would stay one night in the crater after…

Trainsjoch (1708m)

Trainsjoch is first in 2016! The first mountain of the season is always something special and it comes unexpected and spontaneous most of the time. 🙂 To hike up the Trainsjoch, a 1708m high peak in the Mangfallgebirge on the German-Austrain boarder, was never really on the list. But after doing some research on which summit we could reach without…

New Year’s Eve on Kilimanjaro (Day 5)

Bye-bye Karanga on Kilimanjaro Day 5 started as awesome as day one to four on Mount Kilimanjaro. 🙂 We had a crystal clear sky and beautiful views of Kibu/the mountain. We had a hearty breakfast and a coffee in the sun and left Karanga Camp (3995m) to first reach Barafu Camp on 4673m. Stone Men and “business as usual” As…

Breakfast Wall and “Mambo Kilimanjaro” on Day 4

Conquering “Breakfast”! The 4th day on Mount Kilimanjaro woke us up quite early and offered us awesome views from the Barranco campsite, which we reached in the later afternoon after an acclimatisation hike from Lawa Tower to Arrow Glacier Camp on Day 3. 🙂 On this day we had to conquer the Barranco Wall – it`s merely 300 meters high…

Shira Camp 2 to Barranco Camp (Day 3 on Kilimanjaro)

The first sight of Kilimanjaro! The start of our third day on Mount Kilimanjaro was nearly perfect. After our rainy and misty hike from Big Tree Camp to Shira Camp 2 the day before, we were happy to see the sun again. It wasn`t too cold, the sky was crystal-clear and we were able to see the mountain for the…

Day 2 of Lemosho Route on Kilimanjaro

The lush rainforests on Lemosho! Our first night on Mount Kilimanjaro was thankfully pretty easy-going and unspectacular. 🙂 Apart from the heavy rains during the night, some bothering monkeys around the camp and a completely muddy and slippery way to the “toilet”, we slept very well. The short ascent on Day 1 from Londorossi Gate to Big Tree Camp wasn’t…
