7 DAYS KILIMANJARO MACHAME ROUTE HIKING, TREKKING, CLIMBING TOUR PACKAGE OVERVIEW
7 Days Kilimanjaro Machame Route Hiking, Trekking, Climbing tours is the best ideal time slot for this route. On the 7 Days Kilimanjaro Machame Route Hiking, Trekking, Climbing, the climb from Barranco to Barafu is split into two days, with a short day allotted just before the summit award. This is important as summit day starts very early, around midnight, leaving climbers sleep deprived ahead of the toughest day on the mountain. Climbers can rest better if they have a short day before. The 7-day Machame route is highly recommended as it only balances your Kilimanjaro climb in one order.
We drive about 50 minutes from Arusha/Moshi to Machame Gate of Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. The journey passes through the Machame villages on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro. We now leave the Machame Gate and trek through the rainforest on a winding path that climbs a ridge. Further down the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are very important when climbing. We continue a short distance until we reach Camp Machame.
