Welcome to the Kilimanjaro Climb! Get ready for an unforgettable adventure brimming with scenic landscapes and invigorating treks along the Machame route spanning 7 days. Our journey kicks off in Moshi, where we'll gather for a pre-climb briefing. Prepare to conquer the majestic Kilimanjaro and craft enduring memories during this remarkable expedition!
Embarking on the 7-day Machame route, we commence our journey at Machame Gate (1830m). Traverse the lush rainforest, adorned with a variety of flora and fauna. As you ascend over several days, witness breathtaking vistas of Kibo, the glaciated dome. Transitioning through the alpine moorland, you'll ultimately reach Shira Camp, where awe-inspiring views of Kibo peak await.
Our adventure continues along an extraordinary path, winding past the imposing Lava Tower and confronting the formidable Great Barranco Wall. This path leads you to the tranquil expanse of the Karanga Valley. Departing from Karanga Camp, traverse the striking alpine desert terrain before culminating at the high-altitude haven of Barafu Camp. Following a well-earned rest, gather your strength and make preparations for the climactic final ascent to the summit.
An early morning start takes us to Stella Point and, for some, to the main peak at 5,895m – the highest point in Africa. Afterward, we'll descend to Mweka Camp before making our way back to Moshi.
Throughout the climb, we offer fresh, nutritious food, camping gear, and a team of experienced guides, porters, and a cook. Your safety remains paramount; thus, we are well-equipped with first aid supplies and evacuation procedures in case of emergencies.
Join us on this fulfilling journey, where every footfall propels you towards an extraordinary achievement and an unbreakable bond with the breathtaking terrain of Kilimanjaro. As you ascend through diverse ecosystems and surmount exhilarating challenges, you'll not only conquer the mountain but also unlock newfound resilience within yourself.
