7-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing via Machame Route

Embark on a 7-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route. Enjoy the stunning views of the sunrise from the summit and benefit from the expertise of your guide.
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on a 7-day trek along the Machame Route. Enjoy stunning views of the mountain and its surrounding landscapes as you hike through rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts. Reach the summit of Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

Day 1: Machame Gate to Machame Camp
Begin your trek at Machame Gate and hike through the dense rainforest on a winding trail up a ridge until you reach Machame Camp.

Day 2: Machame Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Leave the glades of the rainforest and continue on an ascending path up to a steep, rocky ridge. On the Shira Plateau, pass through heather and open moorlands, then cross a large river gorge to Shira 2 Camp.

Day 3: Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
Continue to the east up a ridge and then head southeast towards the Lava Tower, a 300-foot-tall volcanic rock formation. Descend down to Barranco Camp through the strange but beautiful Senecio Forest to an altitude of 13,000 feet.

Day 4: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Descend into a ravine to the base of the Great Barranco Wall. Then, climb the non-technical but steep, nearly 900-foot cliff. Cross a series of hills and valleys until you descend sharply into Karanga Valley. Climb up to Karanga Camp.

Day 5: Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Leave Karanga and hit the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. Continue up to the rocky section to Barafu Hut. Rest and enjoy an early dinner to prepare for the summit day.

Day 6: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Very early in the morning (around midnight), begin your push to the summit. Ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent, but short, breaks. Near Stella Point (18,900 feet), be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak. Finally, arrive at Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa.

From the summit, make your descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut campsite, stopping at Barafu for lunch. The trail is very rocky and can be quite hard on the knees; trekking poles are helpful. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Enjoy your last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.

Day 7: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate
Continue the descent to Mweka Gate and collect your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. From the gate, continue another hour to Mweka Village. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka Village to drive you back to the hotel in Moshi.
