Kilimanjaro
Climb Machame Route/ Trek Overview
Machame Trek
is a more demanding but much less climbers traffic and
scenic route up Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek is a day
longer and the overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent
camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the
accompanying porters.
Highlights
of this route are the Shira Plateau, Barranco Wall and
the Karanga Valley reaching the summit via Stella Point.
Because this route traverses river valleys on the Southern
Slopes, it is recommended that trekkers must be physically
fit, and with the additional day on trek to assist with
acclimatization, there is a good chance of reaching
the summit - Uhuru Peak.
