Arrow Glacier Camp

Here the vegetation has mostly disappeared, leaving only black and brown rock and scree . The campsite is seriously cold and you will need to be well prepared.

Note that the Arrow Glacier has receded significantly and is no longer an issue on the ascent.

The Western Breach has had some major rock-falls, one which destroyed Arrow Glacier hut, another Lava Tower hut, and one in January 2006 killed several people. As result the Western Breach route was closed for some time.

Note that 95% of the deaths on Kilimanjaro have been clients either over-nighting at the Crater and the ascent via Arrow Glacier Route and Western Breach. Once on the route there is no way back. If you become sick the guides and porters will have to carry you to the summit and descend via Barafu. So you see why this route is dangerous.

Testimonials

"My friends and I went to Kili as well with MK Safaris in early 2008, and I agree with climbingkili - they are absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Caspar, made the trip a real pleasure.

We said goodbye to our fantastic crew at breakfast, with Kili standing majestically in the background blanketed again in a fresh layer of snow. The final hike down on Day 6 was not too bad. We had a celebratory Kilimanjaro Beer at the lunch stop, and we all felt quite energised. I ran the last 9km. Well maybe that's a bit of an exageration!
