Barranco Camp
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
About This Property
The Experience
Barranco Camp is a public campsite in the Barranco Valley on Kilimanjaro's southern side, at just under 4,000 m. It sits at the foot of the Great Barranco Wall, which climbers scramble up the next morning. On the Machame and Lemosho routes it is reached after climbing to Lava Tower at about 4,600 m and descending through a forest of giant senecios, a classic climb-high, sleep-low day for acclimatisation. Umbwe route climbers reach it on their second day. Climbers sleep in tents pitched by their operator's crew.
