 Today, we bid farewell to the rainforest and ascend through an open moorland. Along the way, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the Mawenzi peaks and the majestic summit of Kibo. This portion of the trek will take around six hours, and we will spend the night at the Horombo Hut (3720 meters) nestled in a valley adorned with giant lobelias and groundsels, which are characteristic of this semi-alpine zone. It’s possible to start experiencing the effects of altitude at this stage.
