Tour Description

Mount Kilimanjaro Machame Trek is a more demanding but much less climbers traffic and scenic route up Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek is a day longer and the overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the accompanying porters. Highlights of this route are the Shira Plateau, Barranco Wall and the Karanga Valley reaching the summit via Stella Point. Because this route traverses river valleys on the Southern Slopes, it is recommended that trekkers must be physically fit, and with the additional day on trek to assist with acclimatization, there is a good chance of reaching the summit – Uhuru Peak.
