Machame approaches from the southwest and descends using
Mweka, rewarding climbers with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, a scramble
up Lava Tower, a climb up the Great Barranco Wall, and a traverse underneath
Kilimanjaro's Southern Icefield. The descent occurs on the Mweka route. We
will be sleeping in supplied tents at designated campsites, and eat
meals
either outdoors or inside a large dining tent. Our staff prepares all meals and
sets up the tents.
Climbing the Machame route is more difficult, but not
technically difficult.
Mostly it is simply a longer and often times steeper trek.
It covers more ground and involves more ups and downs. It wears you out more,
takes more energy, not more skill. But it offers much better acclimatization!
This is the Itinerary of our 7 Day Trek
