The distances you will hike each day are very moderate so as to acclimate a little at a time. The terrain lower down is absolutely gorgeous and fascinating. Higher up, the views are vast. There is little to do at the camps themselves, so take advantage of the slow pace to absorb the scenery and take every photo opportunity. You will go as high as you feel fit.
Some people stop at the crater rim, and others continue to the very highest point on the mountain.
Your guides will then take you down as quickly as possible to prevent any altitude problems. You will continue past your last campsite to the next one for overnight. At the end of your trek, you will be picked up at the trail head by Land Rover and taken back to the Springlands Hotel for a hot shower and warm bed.
