School huts is a campsite that is located in the alpine desert region of mount Kilimanjaro, at the foot of the Kibo volcanic cone and It is mostly used by ascending climbers on the longest "northern circuit route". As the northern circuit root is seldom used, the school huts camps is small in size, with toilets provided in the form of pit latrines. Its high altitude means there is little to no water available for sanitation, apart from rain water and that which is carried by porters. The camp is also one of the few places in Tanzania where you may see snow and accommodation is mostly in tents, and also one of the final campsites encountered before reaching the summit of the mountain (others being
kibo,
arrow glacier camp and
Barafu hut).
