Kilimanjaro Machame Route Independent Summary

Add to Shortlist

Day 1 Marangu

Nestled at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro, Marangu is a small village surrounded by stunning vistas and lush forest.

Day 2 Machame Camp

Start with a pleasant stroll through the rainforest, where many species of brightly coloured birds can be seen, before setting up camp at Machame for your first night on Kilimanjaro.

Day 3 Shira Camp

Continue up into moor land, where the vegetation becomes more sparse, and enjoy excellent views of the snow-dusted Kibo peaks from our campsite on the edge of Shira Plateau.

Day 4 Barranco Camp

Ascend to the more rugged areas of the mountain and spend the night at Barranco Camp - a scenic location with great views of the Kibo Massif and its magnificent surrounds.

Day 5 Barafu Camp

It's a tough slog up to Barafu Camp - Barafu is Kiswahili for 'ice' and it's a very fitting name - but you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Hiem, Kersten and Rebmann glaciers above.

Day 6 Uhuru Peak/Summit

Perhaps see snow on the challenging climb to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m) and feel the exhilaration while witnessing never-to-be-forgotten views of the crater, ice fields and lands below.

Day 7 Marangu

Marangu's hotel offers a lush garden, hot showers, a pool and a bar/restaurant - all watched over by the stunning peaks of Kilimanjaro.
