Trekking Kilimanjaro Machame route through Kosovo camp is easier to summit than Barafu camp

This is an epic adventure to trek Kilimanjaro via the Machame route, and overnight at Kosovo Camp as a base camp. People climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through the Machame route mostly sleep at Barafu Camp 4650 m instead of Kosovo Camp 4873m. The most difficult hiking portion to the Kilimanjaro peak is from the Barafu camp to the Kosovo camp. So it is advised to tell people to trek from Karanga camp to Kosovo directly as will make it easier to summit the next day. The advantage of summiting from the Kosovo camp is that people will summit without being too exhausted. 

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest Mountain peak in Africa, and is located in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro originated from Mountains eruption, and now it is largest stratovolcano in Northern hemisphere. Mount Kilimanjaro has three main volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Kilimanjaro is renowned for its impressive snow-capped summit, despite its proximity to the equator, a high temperature region. It attracts climbers from around the world, offering several routes to the top, including the Marangu, Machame, and Lemosho routes. The mountain's diverse ecosystems range from tropical rainforest at the base to arctic conditions at the summit.
