About
Located on the Mweka Route, Mweka Camp also known as Mweka Hut Camp is an overnight accommodation site used by climbers who are only descending from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
For Mount Kilimanjaro climbers coming down from the mountain, Mweka Camp is usually the last campsite used for descent by 5 out of the 7 Kilimanjaro routes, namely the Northern circuit, Machame, Shira, Lemosho, and Umbwe routes.
Climbers prefer this campsite because it is the closest to the exit gate (Mweka gate) even though they have another choice to choose from which is the Millenium campsite further up the mountain, their choice depends on their levels of fatigue. The Millenium campsite is rarely used due to the distance from the gate and it is smaller in comparison.
