Climb Kilimanjaro 7 Days Machame Route
Description
The Machame route is our most popular and successful route leading to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Hikers sleep in tents which are carried up the mountain by porters. The Machame route is a very scenic and beautiful route, which can be completed in 6 days, however we strongly recommend hiking the route in 7 days, allowing for more time to acclimatise. The key to the success of the Machame route is its topography, allowing hikers to climb high and sleep low, helping towards better acclimatisation. There are however two drawbacks on this route:

An amazing trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Machame route and a 1-day safari. My friend and I both successfully summited, and saw giraffes, lions, buffalo, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, and much more! The Enjoy Kili team made everything so easy, we would have been absolutely lost without them. The food on the mountain was incredible, the guides were all super helpful and knowledgeable, and the efficiency was amazing (I only had 9 days off work to do all of this and the travel days). Thank you Enjoy Kili!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your friend successfully reached the summit of Mt.

Congratulations on conquering the Roof of Africa and witnessing Tanzania’s incredible wildlife. We truly appreciate you choosing Enjoy Kili, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
My Hubby, John and I first climbed Kili in June 2015. We met a really awesome group of guys led by David who is the head guide. The team are really passionate about their jobs and love what they do making sure you enjoy every step of your journey. We loved the experience so much we went back in June 2018 with a group of friends to experience the Machame Route a 2nd time. The experience for us was even better than what we remembered the 1st time. Although the 2nd time was quite different to the first with heavy ice on the summit night. The porters as always were very friendly and welcoming, making sure they were always prepared and awaiting our arrival at each camp every day. Each day we were welcomed by singing, popcorn, biscuits, hot tea and coffee and of course the mandatory bowl of warm water to refresh ourselves. Each day had its own challenges but David and his team made each step a memorable one with the usual "Pole Pole" whenever we felt quite adventurous and wanted to motor ahead. The meals at lunch and dinner were spectacular and one would never know that they had been prepared on the mountain. Overall, it was a breathtaking and an awesome experience for us and especially to experience the climb again with good friends and a team from Enjoy Kili who you could rely on at all times. Their experience over more than 20 years really showed in the manner in which they shared their knowledge and skills. I would highly recommend David, Frazier and their team from ENJOY KILI.
