As we prepare for our final ascent to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the anticipation is palpable. We gather in the darkness of midnight, and our guides provide us with a warm drink to help us stay alert as we begin our hike. The switchbacks up the steep scree or snow are challenging, but we take our time, resting when we need to and encouraging each other on. The views from Gilman's Point on the crater rim are breath taking, and we take a moment to admire the fabled crater and its ice caps. Another two hours of hiking along the crater rim brings us to Uhuru Peak, Africa's highest point. As we reach the summit, we are greeted by the stunning sunrise, and we take a moment to soak in the beauty of this incredible moment. After taking our pictures and basking in the glory of our achievement, we begin our descent back down to the Kibo Huts. The views on the way down are just as stunning, and we take our time to savour every moment. We have lunch at the Horombo Hut then rest and overnight
