Machame Route

The Machame Route on Kilimanjaro is a moderately difficult trail but very doable even for the first time backpackers with little to no altitude experience. It is a seven day camping rouite which allows for excellent acclimatization and particularly diverse scenary.

The entire climb up and down is approximately 62 km from gate to gate. The height gain from the gate to the summit is 4157 metres which is ascended over six days of around 5-7 days walking each day.

It is considered difficult as it does not offer the same climb height. The longer you take to complete this trail the higher the success rate will be.

Its longer itinerary allows for better acclimatization thus considered as an easier route.
