The Machame Route is one of the most popular routes on Mount Kilimanjaro.
The route is very scenic, providing hikers with incredible views and varying landscapes starting with tropical forest and finishing on the snow capped peak. The route has its difficult points, most notably on day three when reaching Lava Tower, day four when climbers need to go up the Barranco Wall and also on summit night, with a steep climb up to Stella Point. That being said, there are no parts on the route that require any technical climbing skills.
The distance of the Machame Route is approximately 62 kilometers from gate to gate and you can complete the route on either a 6 or 7 day itinerary. The extra night on the mountain is a popular choice as it provides more time to acclimatise.
