Kili Climb Machame 7 days

Day 1: Machame Hut Camp A short drive brings us to the Machame trailhead (~5,700’). After the climbers and crew have checked in with the park rangers, we will hike up through the montane forests, winding up the mossy jungle, making our way to Machame Hut camp. Hiking: 6-8 hours Overnight Altitude:  ~9,900'

Day 3: Barranco Camp Today is a long day but lots of acclimatization as you climb high, sleep low. We will take an acclimatization hike to Lava Tower (~15,000’) for lunch, before descending to the Barranco valley. For those who have energy, and if time and weather permit, there’s the possibility to scramble up the Lava Tower itself. The scenery is amazing today, passing through different zones of the mountain.  Hiking: 6-8 hours Overnight Altitude:  ~13,500'

Day 5: Barafu Camp Today you’ll continue your circuit and arrive at your final camp before the summit (Barafu camp). Some ups and downs along ridges and valleys along the way. You’ll have an early supper, sleep for a few hours, and then arise at about 11:00 PM to start tomorrow’s summit ascent. Hiking: 3-4 hours  Overnight Altitude:  ~15,100'

Day 7: Mweka Park Gate (~5,000’) to Arusha We make the final descent through the rain forest to Mweka Gate.
