For those who only have only seven days to climb Kilimanjaro, the Machame route is the best choice for its acclimatization significance. Whoever what best summit attempt and success should in a greater way consider the Machame route, which takes one day longer than the more popular six days Machame but is slightly more challenging. Accommodation on the ascent is in tents, adding to the sense of adventure. Extra time taken acclimatizing means a higher success rate! The Machame is actually the second most popular route for Mount Kilimanjaro climb. From the village at Machame (altitude: 1490 meters), the approach is from the south-west of the summit. Led by an expert guide and a team of porters and cooks, you at once enter into lush rainforest, as heavy rains frequently visit this side of the mountain.

It can be a muddy and slippery experience! Alpine moorland is another characteristic landscape in the early stages of this ascent. During the ascent, an optional scramble up the imperious Lava Tower is an option – for those with energy to spare. With our experienced, knowledgeable and, above all, passionate staff, we take care of all the complex and important arrangements for the ascent of this legendary mountain, essential to giving you the best Kilimanjaro experience.
