Campsite at about 5,730 m inside the Kibo crater near the Furtwängler Glacier, about 1 km below Uhuru Peak. Only for well-acclimatised groups whose operator has booked crater camping (extra fee); the altitude makes it risky. You sleep in tents brought by your licensed operator; the KINAPA camping fee is paid through the operator with your permit.
Campsite at about 3,820-3,950 m on the Mweka descent route, about 3.5 km below Barafu. Some operators sleep here after the summit to make the summit day shorter and the last day longer. You sleep in tents brought by your licensed operator; the KINAPA camping fee is paid through the operator with your permit.
Official KINAPA campsite at about 3,100 m in the forest on the Mweka descent route, where most Lemosho groups sleep after the summit (about 6 km and 1,500 m below Barafu); ranger post, toilets and a helipad. Mweka Gate is about 10 km further down. You sleep in tents brought by your licensed operator; the KINAPA camping fee is paid through the operator with your permit.
Park exit gate at about 1,640 m where climbers sign out and collect their summit certificate (green for Stella Point, gold for Uhuru Peak); operators meet groups here for the drive to Moshi, 30-45 minutes away. Tip your crew before you leave.
