The shape of the trip

A complete route, with room for your own pace.

The Machame Route takes a gradual line across Kilimanjaro climate zones. This plan builds in acclimatisation, a well-supported camp rhythm and an experienced mountain crew, so summit night is approached with preparation rather than haste.
