The 6-day Machame Route trek on Kilimanjaro is a challenging but rewarding journey to Africa’s highest peak, Uhuru Peak. After arriving in Moshi and preparing for the climb, you’ll embark on a scenic hike through rainforest to Machame Camp. The following days involve gradual ascents through diverse landscapes, including moorland and semi-desert, with overnight stays at camps along the way. These climbs are crucial for acclimatization before summit day. You’ll then tackle a very early morning ascent through glaciers and scree fields, eventually reaching the peak of Uhuru. Finally, descend back down through the rainforest and return to Moshi, forever marked by your incredible Kilimanjaro adventure.
