Kibo Volcanic Cone, the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro is where Kibo Huts are situated. These huts of Kibo offer both lodging accommodation and camps for climbers.

Located at the base of Kibo Volcano Cone, Kibo huts are situated on the eastern side of the main Kibo peak.

The environment surrounding the Kibo huts is frequently dry and since it is located in the alpine desert vegetation, the humidity here is scarce and rainfall is somehow limited even though the area receives some snow of very small volume possibly seen in the early morning and nighttime when the temperature drops below freezing point.
