10 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climb
10 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climb
The Machame route is now the most popular ascent route on Mt Kilimanjaro. Compared with the Marangu route, the hiking days on the Machame route are longer, the trail steeper. The scenery is spectacular and the landscape stunning.
The Machame route is considered a challenging route and is better suited for more adventurous trekkers and those with some hiking or backpacking experience.The Machame route is scenically beautiful and varied. The Machame route approaches the summit from the southwest. It descends using the Mweka route, rewarding climbers with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, an optional scramble up Lava Tower, a climb up the Great Barranco Wall, and a traverse underneath Kilimanjaro southern ice field.
