Getting up to Kilimanjaro on the last day of the climb is not so tough. It is the earlier days that pose a lot of problems along the way. The route is easy as you just have to come out of the camp at Mweka and the it goes down quite rapidly and then off the mountain side. This is a very busy route at some times of the year given the fact that it is used very commonly by so many folks as they want to make their way down the mountain. It takes around there to four hours as one makes their way to Mweka Gate. There are some places that are quite steep and the guide does caution you against these as the trails are quite narrow as well as steep at some points.

In the Cloud Forest, the trail can be quite wet and cloudy which means that you need to be careful of slippery rocks as well as trails. As you go down, the trail is seen to get more and wider and it almost becomes like a road. This is quite a simple road and navigable also and you will have no problems descending down this slope.
