Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Safaris



6 days / 5 days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing: Kilimanjaro Trek Machame Route



Kilimanjaro Climbing Machame Route

Duration: 6 Days | Total hiking distance: About 100 km

This is probably the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. All your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all your meals. Where accommodation on the Marangu route is in huts, the Machame route offers strictly tents only. This makes Machame (also referred to as the "Whiskey route") better suited to the slightly more adventurous hiker, rewarding him with a scenic splendor such as not seen on the Marangu route. From late afternoon sunsets at Shira, to the misty revelations of Kibo at the great Baranco Wall, the Machame route offers the adventurous hiker a stunning scenic "slide show" over 6 days. The Machame route is normally completed in a minimum of 6 days. There is an added benefit to this, as you are afforded the most valuable commodity on the mountain - acclimatization. The Machame route takes you high to Lava Tower (4630m) on the day 3 and brings you down by nearly 700m for an overnight at Baranco camp (3950m). This is the secret to successful acclimatization.



The Machame route can also be completed in 5 days. On day 3 on the itinerary below, you go directly to Kibo with an overnight at the Arrow Glacier camp, with your final summation attempt on day 4. An extremely physically and mentally demanding option, not recommended for the average climber.
