Day 4 Horombo Hut (3,700 m) – Zebra Rocks (4,020 m) – Horombo Hut (3,700 m)

Today’s purpose is getting your body to acclimatize to the altitude. Acclimatization should not be underestimated as it greatly improves your chances of reaching the summit.

Today’s stage is long and tough. The trail passes the “last waterpoint” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”.

Today is your big day. You will start in the middle of the night when the lava ash is still frozen and walking on it is easier.
