Machame route
Climbing the Kilimanjaro via the Machame route offers you the chance to see all the highlights of Mount Kilimanjaro in 7 days.
For many, climbing the Kilimanjaro is a dream. This Machame route gives you a great opportunity to successfully reach the roof of Africa: a fantastic route!
Route details
We offer the 7-day Machame route, with ample opportunity to acclimatise.
We don’t recommend the 6-day route as the last two days are merged into one, leaving barely any time for you to rest before climbing to the top. If you would like to climb Kilimanjaro via a 6-day route, we recommend the 6-day Rongai route.
