Whilst everyone else is heading back down with little time to explore the Kilimanjaro rooftop, you can enjoy the summit and go down into the Kilimanjaro crater where your camp will have been set up. You will explore the remaining glaciers in the crater and visit the still smoking ash pit before getting to the Western ridge to watch the sunset. You will also be rewarding with view of remaining Glaciers in the crater, the still smoking ash pit and amazing sunset before being the first one to visit the Eastern ridge for sunrise.
