A Kilimanjaro climb through the Machame route is arguably the most challenging option. The day walks are longer and steeper than the others, but your extra efforts are rewarded with breathtaking views of Kibo Peak, the eternal ice fields and Kili’s scree-covered dome. During your climb to Kilimanjaro you’ll also enjoy great access to the remaining glacier and the Western Breach. From late afternoon sunsets at Shira, to the misty revelations of Kibo at the great Barranco Wall, the Machame route offers the adventurous hiker a stunning scenic view over 6 days.

Machame Route
Get off the beaten track on the tougher Machame climb. This is a fully supported six-day camping trip through a remote wilderness area, with great access to the remaining glaciers and the western breach. You’ll enjoy inspirational views of Kibo Peak, the eternal icefields, and Kili’s scree-covered dome… before the ultimate achievement of summit morning!
We include the park fees in our price, worth US$635 (US$745 from July 2013)
The park fees, which are mandatory, are included in our price. When comparing prices make sure you factor this is in as they are US$635 or £420 per person (From July 2013 the fee increases to US$745 or GBP £480). It's a daily rate so it varies between trips, broadly speaking it's £80 a day. This includes the entrance permit to the National Park, the camping/hut permit within the park and the Mount Kilimanjaro Rescue Fee.
Adventurous and rewarding route
The trek begins at Machame Gate, located in the southern base of the mountain, within its lush, fertile rainforest. The route heads toward the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail.
The Machame Route is approximately 50 miles from gate to gate. It is designed for physically fit people with some hiking experience.
Our Kilimanjaro Trek - Machame Route trip is just one of our many Tanzania tours. To find out more visit our Tanzania holidays page.
