Machame, known as the “Whiskey” route, is a popular route to the mountain and the stylish route for climbing Kilimanjaro for charity. Compared with Marangu, the days in Machame are longer and the walks are steeper. It’s considered a delicate route, better suited for further audacious folks, and those with some hiking or backpacking experience. Machame approaches from the southwest and descends using Mweka, satisfying rovers with views of the extensive Shira Plateau.
Elevation: 1811m/ 5942ft to 3021m/ 9911ft
Altitude gained: 1210m
Departing from Moshi a 45-minute drive will take you through the Village of Machame to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We will patiently stay for our permits to be issued while watching the hustle and bustle of operations as multitudinous crews prepare for the trip ahead Enjoy the beautiful rainforest scenery and windy trails while your companion tells you about the original leafage and fauna and natural wildlife. At these lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and fairly slippery. We largely recommend gaiters and traveling poles also.
Elevation: 3021m/ 9911ft to 3839m/ 12,595 ft
Altitude gained: 818m
After a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast, we crop from the rainforest and continue on an up-thrusting path, crossing the vale along a steep rocky crest. The route now turns west onto a swash couloir until we arrive at the Shira campground. Temperatures begin to drop.
Elevation: 3839m/ 12,595 ft to 3986m/ 13,077 ft
Altitude gained: 147m
Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is veritably important for adaptation. From Shira Plateau we continue east up a crest, passing the junction towards the Kibo peak before we also continue, South East towards the Lava edifice, called the “Shark’s Tooth” (elev. 4650m/ 15,250 ft). Shortly after the edifice, we come to an alternate junction, which leads to the Arrow Glacier. We also continue to descend overnight at Barranco Camp.
Elevation: 3986m/ 13,077 ft to 4034m/ 13,235 ft to 4662m/ 15,295 ft
Altitude gained: 676m
After breakfast, we continue on a steep crest up to the venturous Barranco Wall to the Karanga Valley and the junction, which connects, with the Mweka Trail. This is one of the most emotional days to see the power, dexterity, and strength of your crew zip over this wall with what appears similar ease. We continue up toward Barafu Camp and formerly reached you have now completed the South Circuit, which offers a variety of stirring views of the peak from numerous different angles. An early regale and rest as we prepare for peak night. Overnight at Barafu Camp.
Elevation: 4662m/ 15,295 ft to 5895m/ 19,341 ft
Altitude gained: 1233m Descent to 3106m/ 10,190 ft
Altitude lost 2789m Excitement is erecting as morning comes with an early launch between night and 2 a.m. This is the most mentally and physically grueling portion of the journey. We continue our way to the peak between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers trying to stay warm and concentrated on the amazing sense of accomplishment that lies ahead. With a switchback stir in a northwesterly direction and lift through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater hem. You’ll be awarded the most magnific daylight during your short rest then. Faster trampers may view the daylight from the peak. From then on, your remaining 1-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak, you’re likely to encounter snow all the way. Congratulations, one step at a time you have now reached Uhuru Peak the loftiest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire mainland of Africa! After prints, fests, and perhaps many gashes of joy we take many moments to enjoy this inconceivable accomplishment. We begin our steep descent down to Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch and a veritably brief rest. We explosively recommend gaiters and touring poles for uncooperative loose clay and powder keg ash terrain. Well-justified rest awaits you to enjoy your last evening on the mountain. Overnight Mweka Camp.
Elevation: 3106m/ 10,190 ft to 1633m/ 5358ft
Altitude lost: 1473m
After breakfast and a sincere form of appreciation and platoon relating with your crew, it’s time to say goodbye. We continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to admit your peak instruments. As the rainfall is drastically warmer, the terrain is wet, muddy, and steep and we largely recommend Gaiters and touring poles. From the gate, a vehicle will meet you at Mweka vill to drive you back to your hostel in Moshi(about 30 twinkles). Enjoy a long overdue hot shower, regale, and fests!!
