Staying at Crater Camp
Conditions and Challenges
Staying at Crater Camp on Mount Kilimanjaro offers an extraordinary opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the mountain’s most remote and breathtaking locations, and Discount Treks is proud to facilitate this exceptional experience.
Situated at approximately 5,700 meters (18,700 feet) near the summit within the volcanic crater, Crater Camp provides climbers with a rare chance to spend a night close to Uhuru Peak, surrounded by glaciers and ash fields. This high-altitude option, typically incorporated into longer routes like the Lemosho or Northern Circuit, elevates the adventure by blending proximity to the summit with a unique perspective of Kilimanjaro’s geological wonders.
