Mawenzi Tarn Camp
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
About This Property
The Experience
Mawenzi Tarn Camp is a public campsite on the Rongai route, at about 4,300 m directly beneath the jagged spires of Mawenzi, the second of Kilimanjaro's volcanic peaks after Kibo. Many Rongai itineraries spend two nights here, using the middle day for an acclimatisation walk up towards Mawenzi Ridge before crossing the Saddle to Kibo Hut. Climbers sleep in tents pitched by their operator's crew, who also cook and serve meals.
