Imagine yourself having to enjoy your breakfast on the ridge or any other spot of the Kilimanjaro just in the wilderness with all the calm and tranquility.

The camp before is Barranco huts camp and the one ahead is Barafu hut camp.
This area lacks huts or cabins. You will need to bring your own tent, which you can set up wherever it is most comfortable for you. It is assumed that you will use the pit latrine as there are no restrooms available.
