/ Trek Overview
Machame Trek
is a more demanding but much less climbers traffic and
scenic route up Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek is a day
longer and the overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent
camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the
accompanying porters. Highlights of this route are the
Shira Plateau, Barranco Wall and the Karanga Valley
reaching the summit via Stella Point. Because this route
traverses river valleys on the Southern Slopes, it is
recommended that trekkers must be physically fit, and
with the additional day on trek to assist with acclimatization,
there is a good chance of reaching the summit - Uhuru
Peak.
