Kikelewa Camp
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
About This Property
The Experience
Kikelewa Camp, also known as Kikelewa Caves, is a public campsite on the Rongai route on Kilimanjaro's northern side, at about 3,600 m. It lies where the heath zone gives way to alpine desert, below the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Climbers on the seven-day Rongai itinerary usually reach it on the second or third day, before the steep climb to Mawenzi Tarn. As on all camping routes, there are no lodge rooms here: climbers sleep in tents pitched by their operator's crew, who also cook and serve meals.
