About this experience
The 7-Day Machame Route Kilimanjaro Trek is a captivating and comprehensive journey to the “Roof of Africa.” This well-regarded route combines stunning scenery, gradual acclimatization, and varied ecosystems. It begins at the Machame Gate, winding through lush rainforests and moorlands before ascending to the high alpine desert. The trek allows for proper acclimatization with visits to Lava Tower and a challenging Barranco Wall climb. Summit day brings an early morning ascent to Uhuru Peak, followed by a descent to Mweka Camp. The final day takes you through the vibrant rainforest to Mweka Gate, where you’ll receive your summit certificates. This route offers a balanced approach to Kilimanjaro’s summit.
