Day 2: Umbwe Camp (2850 m) to Barranco Camp (3900m)
Shortly after leaving the camp, the Montane Forest will begin to thin, and it will eventually be replaced by rockier terrain, sparser undergrowth, and straggly, moss-covered trees. Continuing along a spectacular ridge, we will gain altitude and catch glimpses of Kilimanjaro, rising majestically ahead of you, etched against the blue sky. As you approach the Barranco Valley, the path flattens. The camp is situated in the valley below the Breach and Great Barranco wall, which should provide you with a memorable sunset while your dinner is prepared.
