From there, it’s another 1–2 hours along the snowy ridge to reach the summit – Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa! After celebrating this incredible achievement with photos and breathtaking views, you’ll descend back to Kibo Hut for a short rest, then continue down to Horombo Hut for a well-deserved night’s sleep.
