D7 Itinerary

The Mweka route is a shorter path, usually used as the descent for other routes too. From High Camp it's a steady drop the whole way; as the vegetation gets denser, the scenery gradually returns to rainforest. Just like the first day going up, watch your footing — mud, rocks and roots get slippery in the humidity. Once you reach Mweka Gate at the bottom, don't forget to sign out at the visitor center; these daily sign-in records are one of the requirements for applying for the summit certificate later.
