Is the Mweka Camp for Me?
Mweka Camp, also called Mweka Hut Camp, is a lodging facility used by climbers just returning from Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit. It is situated along the Mweka Route.
Mweka Camp, used for descent by five out of the seven Kilimanjaro routes—the Northern Circuit, Machame, Shira, Lemosho, and Umbwe routes—is typically the last campsite used by climbers leaving the summit.
Although there is another option, the Millenium campground higher on the mountain, climbers prefer this one because it is the closest to the exit gate (Mweka gate), depending on how tired they are.
