7-Nights Essential Kilimanjaro Hike: Climb the Machame Route - Active & Adventure, Escorted Tours

The most technically demanding of the Kilimanjaro routes, Machame is also perhaps the most rewarding, offering ever changing scenery over an 8-day trek.

The Machame Route is Kilimanjaro’s second most popular route, allowing more time for acclimatisation than Marangu, though it is also steeper and more challenging. This camping-based route takes you past sights such as the Lava Tower and Shira Cathedral, descending along the Mweka Route to offer you a wide variety of scenery.

• Begin your Kilimanjaro adventure in Moshi, preparing for the climb with views of the snow-capped peak.
• Trek through lush rainforest to Machame Camp, surrounded by birdsong and the mountain’s first glimpses.
• Ascend to Shira and Barranco Camps, crossing surreal alpine terrain and sleeping above the clouds.
• Summit Africa’s highest peak at sunrise, witnessing the world curve beneath you from Uhuru Point.
• Celebrate your achievement back in Moshi, reflecting on an unforgettable journey to the Roof of Africa.
