Machame Route
Machame is a challenging and at times steep trek with stunning scenery as it traverses
through Kilimanjaros 5 diverse climatic zones. This route provides the opportunity to “trek
high and sleep low” which is considered important in minimizing the potential for altitude
sickness.
The climb starts above the picturesque mountain village of Machame to the south of
Kilimanjaro. After passing through the Machame forest and into the moorland zone, we
scramble up and over some rocks and eventually emerge onto the Shira Plateau. We then
advance counter-clockwise traversing below the southern face of Kibo, climb Lava Tower
for magnificent 360 degree panoramas, ascend the Great Barranco Wall, a challenging
and exhilarating rock scramble, and approach Uhuru Summit from Barafu or Kossovo
Camp and the ridge that abuts the Southeast Valley. The climb from Barafu offers
incredible views of Mawenzi Peak and Kilimanjaro’s remnant volcanic cone.
Day 1: Arrive Tanzania
On your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport /shuttle bus stand a member of our staff will be at holding
a Trekili Eco Expeditions placard. You will then be transferred to your Hotel for overnight
Day 2: Arusha-Machame Gate to Machame Camp (Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner)
Depart Machame Gate and trek upwards through the montanerainforest, characterized by dense vegetation, a
muddy trail and short sections of steep climbs where you may hear the calls of many exotic birdsand if we are
lucky we may see blue monkeys on the forest canopy and hear the grunting calls of the magnificent black
colobus monkeyswith their long ‘cape’ of white hair and a flowing white tail. Our first campsite, Machame
Camp, is right after the dense tree cover in an area with lower but still thick bush where Podocarpus (African
yellow-wood), Hagenia and Hypericum (St John’s Wort) dominate. In the evening you may hear the
unmistakable shrieking call of the tree hyrax

Day 3: Machame Camp to Shira 2 Camp(Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner)
Today we continue through increasingly sparse trees and bushes into moorlands. Picturesque hanging
mosses often cover trees offering an ethereal quality to the landscape. The day finishes with Shira Camp,
which is on a small plateau in the high moorlands, and features views of Kibo in the northwest and Mount
Merutowards the east. White necked ravenscan be seen throughout the day and around our campsite.

Day 4: Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp (Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner)
Today we turn east and continue to climb “pole pole” (slowly, slowly) through increasingly rocky and desolate
terrain. We will leave the moorland behind and continue up a rocky path through typical Kilimanjaro mountain
vegetation of Senecios and Lobelia. We will pass through the alpine moorland zone where plants are
extremely hardy and consist of lichens, grasses, and heather, to reach Kilimanjaro’s alpine desert zone.
We take lunch at Lava Tower (4630m) and for those who feel up to it you can undertake an optional rock
scramble (non-technical) to the top of Lava Tower where you will have spectacular panoramic vistas of the
Karanga Valley below, Shira Plateau and the spectacular Western Breach above.
From Lava Tower, we descend steeply for 2 hours down more than 600m into the Great Barranco Valley. This
descent affords fantastic views and some great photo opportunities of the Western Breach and Breach Wall.
You will also feel the clear benefits of this acclimatization day as we lose altitude down to the camp.
Barranco Camp is set on a col (flat area) enclosed on three sides by the Breach Walls, and the Kibo massif
itself. Hanging glaciers shimmer in the sunshine above amidst the eerie landscape of plants such as the giant
groundsels, and the uniquely endemic Giant Lobelia. This is definitely the toughest day so far, but incredibly

beautiful.
Day 5: Baranco Camp to BarafuCamp(Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner)
Today we undertake the Great Barranco Wall – an imposing face above Barranco camp. A steady climb up
the eastern wall takes us just below the Heim Glacier, where we may have some breathtaking views of the
Heim Glacier and Mt. Kilimanjaro depending upon the weather and any cloud cover. Our trail continues down
into the alpine desert of the Karanga Valley,
Here the temperature will grow colder as we follow the trail climbing through this barren and dry landscape up
to the Barafu camp. Barafu is the Swahili word for “ice”, and the camping area is on a ridge in a narrow and
exposed flat area. Here there are ever-present powerful winds blowing down from the mountain peaks. Our
campsite at 4600m offers spectacular views of the nearby peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi. In preparation for your
final ascent tonight, you will familiarize yourself with the terrain before dark, and prepare your equipment and

thermal clothing for the summit attempt. Sleep will be difficult, though you will to retire to your tents after
dinner to rest for the 1385m final ascent to the roof of Africa.
Day 6: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to MwekaCamp(Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner)
We will rise early to leave camp at around 12am and after a warm drink and a light snack, you will begin the
most difficult though most rewarding day of the trek – your hike to the roof of Africa. After approximately 6
hours of slow but strenuous hiking, you will reach the rim of the main crater, Stella Point, at 5685m. At this
point we stop to rest, eat lunch and take in the views over the clouds. From Stella Point the trail is normally
snow-covered, and every step of the two-hour final ascent to Uhuru peak is challenging. Passing alongside
the iridescent blue Rebmann and Tarzel glaciers we reach Elveda Point (5882) we can see Uhuru Peak now
only minutes away. The roof of Africa is within your grasp.
Arriving at the summit you feel a huge sense of elation and accomplishment you have done it, you have made
it to the highest point in Africa. We spend as much time as you need to appreciate your accomplishment, as
this is a day to remember for the rest of your life! The time you will spend on the summit will depend on the
weather conditions and temperature.
We start back down the same trail, and descend to Barafu camp. Here you will have a well earned but short
rest and remove some of your many layers of clothing as the day begins to heat up. We head down the rock
and scree path into the moorland zone, reaching the forest, and eventually arriving at Mweka Camp in the
early afternoon where a hot shower and meal awaits. Today is the longest, and the most mentally and
physically challenging of the trek, but a life changing day that will stay with you forever, as you have
conquered the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Day 7: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate-Arusha(Breakfast,Lunch )
Today your legs will be further tested as the trail descends steeply through the lush Mweka rain forest. The
trail is steep in places and the going slippery if wet. The route follows the crest of a broad ridge separating two
river valleys until it meets with a road that leads us for the last 40 minutes to the Mweka Park Gates where we
stop for a well deserved picnic lunch where successful hikers will receive their summit certificates (gold for
Uhuru Peale, Green for Stella point) from the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority. Post celebrations, we are
taken by either private bus or jeep toArusha , Overnight at your Lodge
