6 Days Machame Route Climb

6 Days Machame Route Climb: The Machame route is one of the most beautiful and most popular trekking tours on Kilimanjaro. The trail starts in the lush rainforest with views of Mount Meru, Shira Ridge as well the main summit of the Kilimanjaro – Kibo peak. The Machame route contains more steep passages at higher altitudes than for example the Marangu or Rongai routes and requires better fitness and determination from the mountain climber, but it’s worth it. The terrain is diverse and interesting and the views are spectacular. This route joins the longer Lemosho route at Shira Camp 2.

This 6 Days Machame Route is often considered the most striking and has spectacular views of the summit, but it is weather dependant. The route faces the wind and is on the southern side of the mountain where rainfall is heavier and the vegetation denser. The route is steeper than both the Marangu and the Rongai routes and physically more demanding, but very good for acclimatization. It joins the Lemosho route from New Shira Camp. Machame route is the most popular route with our guests – about 60%.
