After a water break, you continue on the track crossing Ontulili River before turning right contouring through the Moorland and crossing Liki North River and continue uphill to Mackinder's Valley from where there are panoramic views up the valley towards Shipton. The trek today takes 7 to 8 hours.This camp is a surreal setting below the towering peaks and glaciers. Resident population is of Rock hyrax and sun birds.

Kick off at 3:00 am to reach pt Lenana in time for the African sunrise.The climb starts on a frozen scree and continues on a rocky track with some very minor scrambling.The climb takes 3-4 hrs and to add to the exhilaration, Mt. Kilimanjaro is also visible from the horizon if the weather allows.Descend to Shipton camp for full breakfast. After a short rest descend further to Judimere camp/ Old moses hut.
