7-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Machame Route
Tackle Mount Kilimanjaro via the iconic Machame Route on this well-paced 7-day climb designed to boost acclimatization and summit success. Approaching from the south-west, the trail winds through lush rainforest and open moorland before linking up with the Shira Plateau and traversing beneath Kibo’s dramatic southern icefields. As altitude increases, crowds thin out and the mountain reveals its raw, untamed character.
Clear days reward you with sweeping views of Mount Meru floating above the clouds—an image that tends to stick for life. The final push follows the Barafu Route, a demanding yet spectacular ascent that leads you to Uhuru Peak just as dawn breaks over Africa. With an extra day built in, this itinerary strikes the sweet spot between challenge and comfort, giving you time to acclimatise properly while soaking up Kilimanjaro’s ever-changing scenery.
