After a late start around 11am we eventually reached the Karisimbi camp situated at 3659m. We covered the 8,8km and 1200m of ascent in around 4 and half hours with some long breaks along the way.

We trekked through some very thick jungle surrounded by stunning scenery. So far it has been a very good day and we are excited about our summit attempt tomorrow.
