Overview

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a great way to experience the diverse landscapes of Tanzania, from the equatorial rain forest to the arid volcanic plains, and offers a fantastic trekking challenge. The Machame Route is one of the three most popular routes on Kilimanjaro, and is suitable for both experienced and less experienced climbers. One of the main problems that first time trekkers face when climbing Kilimanjaro is acclimatizing to the altitude. This 7-day itinerary includes a selection of shorter walks, which will help you to gradually get used to the altitude. Your itinerary includes 6 full days of walking and 2 nights of accommodation in Moshi.
  • Get a warm welcome to Tanzania with arrival and departure transfers included
