Machame route - 9 days Kilimanjaro climbing package




The Machame Route is the second most popular and the most beautiful route on the Kilimanjaro mountain.
After a gradual ascend through the forest you emerge to see wide views of the moorland on Shira plateau, Kibo, Western Breach and the different kinds of vegetation along the way. We approach the summit with an acclimatization day by hiking at high altitude from Barafu Camp to the Karranga Valley Camp.
.

The accommodation is in mountain tents, For those who arrive with an extra free day, they can accompany a guide of Kilimanjaro on a day trip to meet and learn more about the situation on Kilimanjaro.  This will enhance our understanding of the local culture, rather than just the tourist version, and proceeds go to benefit the community.  Overnight in the Moshi Hotels for a perfect view of the Mountain in both the evening and early morning.
