The Machame Route begins on the south-west slopes of the mountain and has quickly become one of the most popular routes for trekkers. The route is considered to be one of the most scenic routes but is best suited to those with a keen sense of adventure and some previous hiking experience. The Machame Route can be done in six days; we do however always include an extra acclimatization day on all our Kilimanjaro Treks to give you the best possible chance at summiting.
