Machame Route made in the option of 6 days / 5 nights.
1st Day:
Departure from Arusha to Machame Gate (1800m). Upon arrival we eat and start the route to Machame camp (3000m) through lush vegetation and a comfortable path.
2nd Day:
It starts from Machame Camp (3000m) to Shira Camp (3800m). Upon arrival we visit a cave and climb a few tens of meters before resting in the tent.
3rd Day:
We follow the ascent, this time we will go to Lava Tower (4600m) and then descend and sleep in Barranco Camp (4000m). A key day in the correct acclimatization, since from the beginning of the route we do not stop ascending, and this time reaching the altitude of 4600m we descend to 4000m to sleep.
4th Day:
We leave Barranco Camp (4000m) to reach Barafu Camp (4650m). It is a route of ups and downs, where we may find the most technical parts of the entire route. Upon arrival, we rest as much as possible to face the night ascent to Kilimanjaro.
5th Day:
We left at approximately 12 p.m. Rest is scarce, I also think it is not necessary to leave so soon, and save you many hours of cold night. After reaching the top (5895m) and returning to the camp, a mini break and descend to Mweka Camp (3050m).
6th Day:
Finally you get off at Mweka Gate (1600m), to arrive at lunchtime at Arusha.
