Machame Route
The second in popularity on Kilimanjaro, Machame route boasts excellent acclimatization and great views.
The Machame route on Mount Kilimanjaro is our second favorite, renowned for its stunning scenery and diverse terrain, much like the Lemosho route. It’s extremely popular, with over 20,000 climbers annually, but this popularity can lead to overcrowding during peak times. The route’s acclimatization profile is excellent, utilizing the climb high, sleep low strategy effectively. It approaches from the south and boasts a high success rate, especially on the seven-day trek. Camping is the only accommodation option; there are no huts available on the Machame route.

The success rate depends on the number of days you spend on the mountain. For all operators combined, it is estimated that 6 day Machame climbs have a success rate of about 50% and 7 day Machame climbs have a success rate of around 70%. Our 6 day Machame route has a success rate of approximately 70-75% and our 7 day Machame route has a success rate of approximately 85-90%.
Be careful when choosing between the 6- and 7-day Machame route itineraries. The 6-day variation has much lower summit success rates and is suitable only for experienced trekkers or travelers with prior acclimatization. This is because the shorter itinerary skips the intermediate stay at the Karanga Camp, making it much more challenging to adapt well to the high altitude and have a good chance at summiting. This option is often promoted by “budget” tour operators, but we don’t recommend it for beginners.
