Highlights

Machame Gate (1490m)

Mount Kilimanjaro - Hiking time: 7 hours

Distance: Approximately 18 kilometers

Habitat: Montane forest

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

After an early breakfast at your hotel, you will be picked up and driven to the Machame Village. In the village, you can buy mineral water and will receive a packed lunch. From the village, depending on the road conditions, you will either continue to drive from the village to the Machame gate, but if not, the muddy 3 km walk will take about 1 hour to complete. After registering at the gate office, you start your ascent and enter the rain forest almost immediately. There is a strong possibility of rain in the forest, which will transform the trail into a very soggy, muddy and slippery experience. You will have a welcome lunch stop about half way and will reach the Machame camping area in the late afternoon.

Your porters (arriving at the camp site long before you) will have erected your tent on your arrival. In the evening the porters will boil drinking and washing water and the cook will prepare dinner, before you retire to your tent for the night. Night temperatures can already drop to freezing point at this campsite.

We couldn't ask for more ❤ - An amazing experience, a very professional company, starting from the planning stage, thinking about every detail. Close escort from the moment of landing until the end of the trip. Our guide was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, answered any problem or request. We could not have asked for more

Trekking Kili with the best! - I can’t recommend Kilisa Tours enough. We just finished the trek a couple of days ago. From the pick up at the airport, everything went smoothly. We asked our driver Nicholson to give us a little tour walking around Moshi as we had some time to kill, which he did happily (we gave him a tip obviously). Then our guides, the fabulous Bakari and Matthew, cake to our hotel to check over our kit, making sure we had everything we needed and tell us the plan for the six days ahead. On day one, we stopped by the office to pick up the amazing crew of 7 porters, our chef and Matt and Bakari. Everyone was super friendly from the word go and they all had some limited English so we could converse a little bit. Day one was through the rainforest - we got soaked - but we’re met back at camp with our tent set up and shortly after a hot meal presented to us. This was the standard every day. Some days we even stopped for a hot lunch. Both me and my partner are vegetarian and our chef - Kurwa - or Mama Africa, always made tasty filling food for us. Even breakfast was two courses. He couldn’t feed us enough and we were both very grateful to have full bellies! The porters always beat us to camp, even though every day we were the first trekkers to arrive, which is testament to the brilliant organisation of Kilisa and our guides. A couple of porters would even meet us most days about 500km from camp and carry our day packs for the last stretch. As for our guides, Matthew and Bakari. They were brilliant. Their confidence and positivity put us immediately at ease. The one tough day was the stretch to the summit (obviously) and they guided us through it with such kindness and grace, I cannot praise them enough. They kept us going, kept us warm and most importantly got us down as quickly as they possible could as by the time we’d hit the top we both felt pretty awful. This was the most awesome, friendliest, most professional group of people and the price of the trek seemed reasonable when comparing to other companies. The staff all seemed to be proud of the company and treated fairly. We always felt safe and taken care of and the office were easy to communicate with pre booking and quick to answer emails. My advice... Go for it! (And take a hot water bottle for your sleeping bag!)

Amazing Company to Hike Kili with!! - There are so many different companies to hike Kili with! When we were choosing and reading reviews etc. it was honestly overwhelming! We decided to hike with Kilisa Tours and it was absolutely amazing. It was such a welcoming and authentic experience, I dont think there is a better tour company to hike with. Our guide, Rama, the porters, our chef, as well as the crew in Moshi, Naick and Juliana, were helpful and accommodating every step of the way. Every part of the hike was thought out ahead of time and it made it so much easier and more enjoyable when it came time to reach the summit! Amazing company in Moshi and definitely recommend these amazing people to take you up the mountain!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND KILISA TOURS FOR A TRIP OF A LIFETIME 👍👍👍 - Couldn’t recommend Kilisa highly enough. The team are extremely experienced and will do anything to help make your trip one of a lifetime. The guides make you feel extremely safe and comfortable and the team are really friendly which makes the trip even more fun! The porters go out of their way to help you along the way and the food is delicious - I have no idea how they can prepare such great meals 5000m up a mountain! We immediately felt part of the Kilisa family, the guides take such good care of you and we couldn’t have felt safer in their hands. We were so pleased to be with the Kilisa team. Complete professionals, lovely people and helped us have the most amazing experience. If you’re wanting to climb Kilimanjaro (which i absolutely recommend) then I couldn’t be more positive about Kilisa tours.

Climbing Kilimanjaro - To be honest, Kilisa tour is best local tour to make your dreams come true. We spent 6 days with amazing guides, porters and cooker. Everything was organized very well, I have to say that also all food were very delicious. This make us fell that we’re at home. Team work of Mountain crews helped us a lot to success summit Kilimanjaro all the time. Yessss we did, when we reached the summit I can not explain my feeling everybody hugging each other. I can say that it was the best moment in my life. I really appreciated to all team and want to say again thank you for everything. Kilisa is the best 💛
