UTAALAM GUIDES experience that if you choose to stay a night at crater camp should summit Uhuru peak highest peak first before attempt to have a night at the crater, therefore, you walk to the summit will proceeding until you make it to the summit except if come from western Breach path which your attempt to crater camp before summit Uhuru peak although you should keep your summit bid until you make it.

The reason came up after other climbers incapable to reach the summit due to altitude problem when having a rest at crater camp and happen the body does not adapt well with high altitude in here the only cure is to lose elevation to the lower slope so the possibility is to fail to reach the highest point because is not safe to go high again if you have altitude problems, our pretty ideas to do summit and then having a rest at crater will be free for anything happen either altitude concerned happen any time you can immediately save a life by going down to lower elevation.

From Uhuru peak down to crater camp after the summit, “Uhuru peak”continue walking down to crater camp takes less than 1 km about 1 hour

To remind this is a volcanic mountain which is dormant and the zone which is snowy and experience snowfall along with the ice fields, in addition, receives no rainfall but only grapels though it’s little life support into this thin air which make everything run slowly and free high altitude challenge. The crater is covered 2.5km wide and 350m deep

Africa permanent glaciers provide a sighting around the whole side of crater camp by walking on the flat sands or snowy area except if you will hike to Ash Pit takes 1.5 hours upslopes from crater camp. Your time staying here will offer more attractions such as pretty Africa glaciers which regarding weather and seasonal. At the dry season sometimes it has experienced strong sunny and slow windy during the day time and night extremely cold with everything freezing hence temperatures drop to negative ranges from minus 7-degree centigrade(19.4 degrees Fahrenheit) starts after sunset and then at 6.30 a.m when sunrise everything again getting in normal warm.
