The Machame route is one of the most beautiful of the seven Kilimanjaro routes. You pass through extremely varied terrain the whole way up to the summit. In fact, you pass through five different climate zones: rainforest, grassland, moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit. For this reason, you have a good chance of spotting some of Kilimanjaro's unique plants and exciting wildlife.
The trek also takes you past stunning natural features such as the volcanic plug known as Lava Tower and the dramatic cliff face that is Barranco Wall. It also stops over at locations that offer some of the best sunrises and sunsets on Kilimanjaro.
Once you reach the entrance, the porters will weigh everything that you have with you which takes about an hour. The porters are not allowed to carry more than 20 kg per person. You will give them your duffle bag and wait for them to arrange all the weight between themselves. Meanwhile, you will have your lunch.
The first day is very easy and pretty to walk in, you will walk for 12 km through a beautiful rainforest where you might spot some monkeys! The temperature is pleasant. You will walk for 5 to 7 hours depending on your fitness level and reach Machame Camp before sunset. Once you get there, you will check-in (this is the procedure for all camps) and your guide will show you the place where you will sleep.
When you start the second day, you will see right away that the trail is visibly much different than the day before – there are more rocks and fewer trees. There is a rocky ridge to climb, too. Don’t rush, go slowly (“poli-poli” as the locals say) and you will reach the next camp successfully. We reached Shira camp at about 4 PM (the altitude is 3,750 m).
The 3rd day starts,at 8 AM. You will walk up for about 5 hours to the Lava Tower and then have a packed lunch there. Your lunch will probably be fast because 4,600 m is quite cold and windy. But congratulations, if you made it up there, you would surely make it to the base camp because it is located at the same elevation! After conquering Lava Tower, it is about 2 hours down to Barranco camp. You will see some interesting vegetation along the way if it is not rainy.
You will start day 4 at 7 AM. Right after you leave the camp, you will see an almost vertical menacing wall that you will need to climb. Don’t be scared – it is not easy, but it is doable! The wall will take you about 1.5 hours and then there are 2 more hours up and down, of which the last 25 minutes are quite steep. You will be rewarded by arriving at Karanga Camp pretty early (around mid-day).
You will reach the base camp after around 3 hours. The base camp is located at 4,700 m, but this altitude will not be new to you because you already acclimatized yourself on day 3 when climbing up to the Lava Tower. Keep in mind that the weather there is extremely changeable, and it is usually pretty cold. It is absolutely normal to experience sun, hail, a storm, mist, rain and snow within one or two hours from up there. Kilimanjaro has its own microclimate.
The summit day is THE big day! You will wake up before midnight, have some tea with biscuits and head off into the darkness. If you can, you should have a good night’s sleep because the day promises to be long. The hike to the summit takes about 7 hours depending on your fitness level.
