Machame Route climb is our most popular. Treks each day are well paced and offer time to enjoy the surroundings and views. Changes in elevation are gradual and climbers can build their way to the more difficult days at the end. An additional day staying at Karanga Valley Camp is always recommended to increase the chance of success in reaching the summit.
