How fit do I need to be?

The Machame route is considered a difficult one—compared to some other Kilimanjaro routes, the days are longer and the walks are steeper. It is a demanding trip better suited for people with at least some hiking experience. Still, it does not require technical skills or mountaineering equipment such as ice axes, crampons, harnesses, and ropes. Therefore, even if you’re a first-time trekker with excellent fitness and a desire to push yourself in a mountain environment, this 9-day climbing tour in Kilimanjaro might be for you.

9-Day Climbing Kilimanjaro Tour via the Machame Route

Hike and explore Kilimanjaro’s palette of climates with this nine-day tour that ends with an ascent to the Uhuru Peak—the highest peak in Africa! Take on the Machame Route and get going through diverse landscapes every single day. Recharge your batteries in quality hotels and tents by night and eat freshly prepared food every day. Your experienced guides will make sure you have the best experience possible climbing Kilimanjaro!

Your expert guide will pick you up from the Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania. You’ll then be taken to your hotel in Moshi city, the second-largest tourism hub of Tanzania and the capital of Kilimanjaro region. Your guide will brief you on what to expect on this tour and make sure you’re prepared.

Accommodation: Panama Garden Resort
Only an hour’s drive from Moshi separates you from beginning your 9-day adventure. After completing some final park formalities, your trip will start at Machame Gate. The first section of the trail involves jungle bashing through Afromontane forests. The path is less worn and it can often be wet and muddy. Your trekking for the day ends at Machame Camp at 10,170 ft (3,100 m), which sits near the border of the rainforest zone and the low alpine zone. Spend the night at the camp.

Accommodation: Machame Camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 4-6 hours, 6 miles/ 9 km
Altitude gain: 3,870 ft/ 1,210 m
Your route continues on up through the forest until you reach the steep ascent to the Shira Plateau. Stretching out over 8 miles (13 km), the Shira Plateau is actually a caldera—what you’re seeing today are remains of a volcano boasting deep valleys and weather-beaten lava flows. Looking back, you’ll be able to see Mt Meru, Tanzania’s second highest mountain and a dormant volcano rising high above Arusha town. Your camping spot for the day are the Shira Caves.

Accommodation: Shira Caves
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 4-6 hours, 3 miles/ 5 km
Altitude gain: 2,430 ft/ 740 m
A walk-high-sleep-low day ahead of you! Hiking on high moorland, the landscape changes the entire character of the trek. You’ll traverse the southwest side of Kilimanjaro, passing underneath the monumental Lava Tower in the desert portion of the mountain and finally reach the Western Breach. You’ll spend your day at high altitudes of 15,092 ft (4600 m), but for your night’s sleep descend to the Barranco Camp at 12,795 ft (3,900 m). While it’s a long day, it’s also an opportunity to abide by the mountaineering code in order to aid your body in altitude acclimatization. Spend your night at the Barranco campsite.

Accommodation: Barranco Camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 6-7 hours, 6 miles/ 10 km
Altitude gain: 197 ft/ 60 m
Kick of the day by descending into the start of the Great Barranco, a huge ravine. Exit steeply, up what has been termed the Breakfast Wall, which divides you from the southeastern slopes of Kibo. It’s a climb over rocks, but not overly technical. Passing underneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers, head towards the Karanga Valley at 13,123 ft (4000 m) for the night.

Accommodation: Karanga Valley
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 4-5 hours, 3 miles/ 5 km
Altitude gain: 328 ft/ 100 m
The day is characterized by a short hike on terrain formed by scree. Hike arid land towards Barafu Camp at 15,092 ft (4,600 m) where you’ll have the entire afternoon to rest before ascending towards the summit. The terrain here is tough—strong winds often rip over this campsite in the desolate alpine desert. However, the far-reaching views of the Mawenzi peak make the struggle worth it. Take your time to rest and save your energy for tomorrow. Spend the night at Barafu Camp.

Accommodation: Barafu Camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 2-4 hours, 2.5 miles/ 4 km
Altitude gain: 1,969 ft/ 600 m
Here’s where you get to show what you’re made of! In order to stay away from the heat of the sun as much as possible, depart around midnight and hike steeply upwards to the summit glaciers. You’ll be climbing scree for 5-6 hours, but also gain incredible height over a short distance. Arrive to the crater rim at Stella Point as the first rays of sunshine emerge. You’ll be surrounded by ice cliffs within the crater and views of the Mawenzi peak. All that’s left to do is to conquer an hour’s walk to your goal—the summit of Uhuru, meaning freedom, at 19,341 ft (5,895 m). Having climbed the celebratory 4,252 ft (1,296 m), take some photos and begin your descent. Continue going down scree slopes back to Barafu Camp for breakfast before finally heading down to Millennium Camp. Spend the night there for a well-deserved rest and rejoice at your victorious climb!

Accommodation: Millennium Camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hiking: 6-8 hours, 7.5 miles/ 12 km
Altitude Loss: 948 ft/ 289 m
A gentle trek takes you down through the rainforest to the Mweka Gate where park formalities will be completed. You’ll receive your certificate of ascent, courtesy of the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority. Drive back to Moshi for a well-deserved shower and a cold beer!

Accommodation: Panama Garden Resort
Meals: Breakfast and lunch
Hiking: 4-5 hours, 6 miles/ 10 km
Altitude loss: 4,462 ft/ 1360 m
Your guides will transfer you to Kilimanjaro International Airport. If you’re planning on staying in Tanzania for a bit longer, you can extend your tour to wildlife safari in the northern circuit to Serengeti and Ngorongoro of Zanzibar, but at an additional cost.

Eco-Africa Climbing is legit my best East Africa Tour Group!!! They took us in and for the duration of our tour and gave us more family that we could imagine. They were caring, thoughtful and always one step ahead to ensure that our safety and travel goals were met then they superseded them ☺️. I am a very very satisfied customer to say the least and will recommend them to anyone who cares to ask.

Suzanne Brume

I climbed Kilimanjaro with Eco Africa Climbing and 12 other climbers. The attention to detail was wonderful; each team member – the guides, chefs, and porters aka kili fighters – presented an air of joy, care, and total love for their jobs. They helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely experience. We could not have done this with better people or a better company, and I definitely got to the top because of their expertise and care. I’d recommend the company to anyone looking to climb!

Jacque Tietjen

I climbed Kilimanjaro with Eco a couple of weeks ago and it was a great experience! Everyone is very kind and professional. Before arriving I was not aware how large of a team I would have so take note that for one person I had a guide, a chef, a waiter, and 8 other porters! This company partners with an organization that supports fair and ethical treatment of porters so they must hire many to carry all of the tents and food for the entire trip. However they are all amazing! They are super supportive and encouraging. I had a blast and I highly reccomend them if you want to climb Kili.

TVP Adventures

We are incredibly proud of Eco-Africa Climbing and how they brought our dreams of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to life. We brought a group of 12 climbers to Tanzania and once we got there, they took charge of ensuring that everyone was well informed and prepared for the 7-day adventure. The guides, Kilifighters (including a woman) and chefs were all integral to the success of our climb and our team will be using Eco-Africa Climbing for all our future climbing expeditions in Tanzania. You’re in good hands with them! We give them the maximum rating and then some more!

Chikky Akanuhor

Where do I start from? 12 of us from Nigeria climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Eco Africa Climbing. The love, care and affection from the Eco Africa team was real. The team went all out to ensure we could summit. I could give a detailed review of each guide and would have only amazing words. I was impressed by the culture that was passed down from the Lead guide to the kili fighters. I’m typically a critic and would have started pointing out faults at this point, but there is absolutely nothing for me to change. I received a 5 star treatment and I’m proud of Eco Africa Climbing. We would definitely do more business together.
