Safari summary

The 6 day Kilimanjaro days kilimanjaro machame is a good option for those who only have 6 days to climb Kilimanjaro. The Machame route is the best choice because of its acclimatization schedule. Compared to other 6 day routes, the Machame route exposes the climber to higher elevations quicker (day three), which allows body adaptation for climbers

The 6 day Machame is a difficult route. In particular, day four combined with day five makes for a very hard schedule. On day four, I hiked from Barranco to Barafu. Then, after dinner and a partial night’s sleep, the very long and strenuous summit day begins around midnight. The 6-day Machame route requires 19–24 hours of demanding walking at extremely high elevation, with only 4-6 hours of sleep.

Here are some of the challenges of the Machame route

The altitude: The Machame route ascends to a high altitude of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters). This can be challenging for some people, especially if they are not acclimatized to high altitudes.
The distance: The 6-day Machame route covers a total distance of 47.8 kilometers (29.7 miles). This is a lot of walking, especially at high altitudes.
The terrain: The Machame route is a varied terrain, with steep climbs, slippery rocks, and narrow paths. This can be challenging for some people, especially those who are not used to hiking in challenging terrain.

The accommodation of Machame route is a camp with designed tent, unlike that of marangu route. where there is permanent accommodation hut dormitory.The camps of Machame are Machame and Millennium Camp, Shira camp, Barranco camp, Karanga camp, and Barafu camp This is final camp
The price for 6 day Kilimanjaro Climb Machame ranges from $1440 to $2000. This 6 day Machame cost include all park fees, all meals, professional guide, porters and risk fees The excluded fees is pick-up and accommodation before and after hike
