Camping
The Machame route is the most popular route on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the route of choice for many people because it provides impressive views and a variety of habitats. About 50% of all climbers, and most seasoned climbers, choose the Machame route for their trip. It is also one of the cheaper routes due to its easy access and shorter itinerary. The Machame route is also known as the Whiskey route, given its reputation for being a tough climb, in contrast to the easier Marangu route, which is known as the Coca Cola route. Unlike the gradual incline and hut accommodations found on the Marangu route, the climbers on Machame hike steeper trails, for longer distances, while sleeping in tents.
From USD 1,960 per person
Arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport/alternative airport and you will be picked up and transferred to your hotel for dinner, overnight stay and breakfast.
After breakfast, we leave the glades of the rain forest and continue on an ascending path, crossing the little valley walking along a steep rocky ridge, covered with heather, until the ridge ends. The route now turns west onto a river gorge. Time for rest, dinner, and overnight at the Shira campsite.
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch & dinner
After morning breakfast you will depart from Shira 2 camp. You will reach lava tower after a five hour long walk. Enjoy lunch at the tower and opt to hike the enormous lava tower if the weather permits. You may feel some discomfort due to the high altitude. After having lunch you will descend from the tower to Barranco campsite. The descent will only take 2 hours and upon arrival you will spot the famous Barranco Wall which will be hiked the next day.
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch & dinner
After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge passing the Barranco Wall, to the Karanga Valley campsite. This is a short day meant for acclimatisation.

Midnight to 2am we continue to the summit. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point. At Stella Point (18,600 ft), you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting). At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point in Africa. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing to Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch.
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch & dinner
After breakfast, we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be adequate (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy). From the gate, you continue another hour to Mweka village. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi.
