Kilimanjaro National Park - Machame Gate to Machame Camp
• Elevation (ft): 5,400ft to 9,400ft
• Distance: 11 km
• Hiking Time: 5-7 hours
• Habitat: Rain Forest
The drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 50 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame, which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. We now leave the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge.
Lower down, the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp.

The program takes you on an exciting journey via the picturesque Machame Route, allowing you to indulge in some game spotting and bird observing during the initial days of the trek. Afterwards, it traverses the Shira Plateau, passes through the impressive Grand Baranco Canyon, and proceeds to the peak. If everything goes smoothly, you expect to arrive at Stella Point at sunrise, before continuing on around the rim of Kibo to the summit, Uhuru Peak.
Ready for the challenge?
The Machame route is physically demanding yet not technically challenging, therefore, no previous mountain-climbing skills are necessary. However, the steep uphill climb and high altitudes, which require good physical health (and a minimum age of 14 years) are unescapable aspects of this journey.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
