Hiking Kilimanjaro Day 2: Machame Camp to Shira Camp Part 3 of 3

From 9,842 feet to 12,467 feet Altitude gain: 2,645 feet Miles: 6 Time: about 5 hours from ~9:30am to 2pm After waking up at Machame Camp, we started a ritual that would last for the next 6 days: wash our faces with hot water, have hot tea with our breakfast porridge, pack-up our bags for the porters, pack-up our day packs with our prepared lunches and 3 liters of water and go! This hike was my favorite because it was sunny the entire day even though we gained so much elevation in one day. The sunset at Shira Camp was spectacular.
