Day SIX: Karanga to Barafu

          In the morning, we had a beautiful view of Mt. Meru, a nearby mountain and more technical climb than Mt. Kilimajaro. 






But, this is the one I had to climb!



Hiking up to Barafu Camp, we were already above the clouds.




          Reaching one of the ridges close to the Barafu campsite we stopped and looked over where we had been. No these photos have not been altered to just black and white… this is just how desolate and empty this part of the trek appeared.



Made it to Barafu!







At the campsite there was another beautiful mountain in our sights, Mawenzi, the second dormant crater we’ve seen on our journey to the top. Our final destination is on the third volcano cone, Kibo.
