But this climb is not just about the scenery, it’s also about the challenge. With the Machame Route, you’ll be able to test your physical fitness and hiking skills while having the time of your life. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a new adventure, the Machame Route will not disappoint.

Sleep under the stars in your tent and dine in style with the mess tent complete with tables and chairs. And with the option to extend the route by one or two days, you’ll increase your summit chances, enjoy your climb even more, and decrease your chances of Acute Mountain Sickness.

So, why settle for the ordinary when you can have the extraordinary? Join us for a 7-day Machame Route climb on Mount Kilimanjaro, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!
