Mweka Hut
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
About This Property
The Experience
Mweka Hut, more commonly called Mweka Camp, is a public campsite at about 3,100 m in the upper forest on Kilimanjaro's Mweka descent route. It is the last night on the mountain for most climbers on the Machame, Lemosho and Umbwe routes, reached after the summit and the long descent past Barafu. After days at altitude the thicker, moister air is a relief, though mist or rain is common in the late afternoon. The next morning climbers walk down through the forest to Mweka Gate. Climbers sleep in tents pitched by their crew.
