| Kilimanjaro -
Machame Route Climb 8 Days / 7 Nights Itinerary |
This is the second most popular route, and it
is considered the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. With a gradual ascend
through the forest you emerge to see wide views of the moorland on Shira
plateau, Kibo and Western Breach. The different kinds of vegetation found
along the route make it the most scenic route.
For a slightly more technical climb on Kilimanjaro, one can conquer Uhuru
peak from Arrow Glacier camp, but a less challenging route can be taken from
Barranco hut.
