At Stella Point (5,685 meters), you'll pause for a brief rest, greeted by the awe-inspiring spectacle of a sunrise that may be one of the most magnificent you'll ever witness, weather permitting. From Stella Point, you'll typically encounter snow throughout your two-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro. After experiencing the summit's majesty, the return journey to Barafu will take about three hours.
