6-DAY TRIP: CLIMBING KILIMANJARO VIA THE POPULAR 6-DAY MACHAME ROUTE

The Machame route was voted as the most beautiful climbing route in the world! This is due to the stunning views of Mount Meru, the impressive ascent along the Barranco wall and other highlights you see. The route has also well-maintained hiking trails. You can also see more of Kilimanjaro, because the Machame route takes a different route to the summit than for the descent

The ascent via the Machame route takes a total of six days, but is also possible in seven days so that your body can acclimatize properly. We recommend this extra day as it increases your chances to reach the summit. In this case, you would take an extra day to hike from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp and day five of this route will correspond with day five and six of the Lemosho route.

SHEDRAJIO SAFARIS OFFERS A UNIQUE SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE CLIMB
