Why Choose 8 Days Machame Route And Ngorongoro Crater Safari?
The seven-day Machame itinerary gives you several days to progress through different mountain environments before reaching Uhuru Peak. It also provides a longer trekking profile than shorter Kilimanjaro options.
The safari then changes the pace from mountain hiking to wildlife viewing. Ngorongoro Crater is particularly suitable for a short safari because a concentrated game drive can be combined with the wider Tanzania itinerary.
The Machame Route is the most scenic route up Kilimanjaro, passing through lush rain forest, river valleys and views of the Kibo Peak and Ngorongoro Highlands.
An 8-day itinerary combining the 7-day Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro with a 1-day safari to the Ngorongoro Crater is designed for travelers who want both Africa's highest peak and a major wildlife destination within a limited timeframe.

Travel to Machame Gate, complete registration, then begin hiking through the rainforest toward Machame Camp. The trail gradually gains elevation while passing through dense vegetation and forest surroundings. Meal plan: Lunch and Dinner.
Machame Camp
Machame Camp to Shira Camp
Kilimanjaro
Rising (ft): 10,200ft / 3,100m to 12,600ft / 3,840m | Stretch: 9 km | Hiking time: 4-6 hours | Climatic habitat: Moorland. Leave Machame Camp and continue toward Shira Camp. The vegetation becomes more open as the route enters moorland. This stage continues the steady altitude gain while providing time to adapt before higher sections of Kilimanjaro. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Shira Camp
Shira Camp to Barranco Camp
Kilimanjaro
Hiking time: 5-7 hours walking | Rising: 12,600ft / 3,840m to 12,700ft / 3,860m | Stretch: 15 km | Climatic habitat: Semi-desert. The route crosses the Shira area toward Barranco Camp. Although the camp elevation changes only slightly, the long hiking distance provides an important acclimatization day before the trail continues toward the higher mountain sections. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Barranco Camp
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Kilimanjaro
Rise (ft): Barranco Camp 3,900m to Karanga Camp 3995m | Stretch: 6 km | Hiking time: 3.5 to 4 hours | Climatic habitat: Moorland. Continue from Barranco toward Karanga Camp through the mountain's moorland zone. The shorter hiking distance allows steady progress while preparing for the higher camps ahead. The day's route remains part of the gradual ascent toward the summit area. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Karanga Camp
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Kilimanjaro
Rise (ft): Karanga Camp 3995m to Barafu Camp 4,673m | Stretch: 4 km | Hiking time: 3-4 hours | Climatic habitat: Alpine Desert. Hike from Karanga to Barafu Camp through the alpine desert environment. The trail gains considerable elevation over a short distance. Barafu forms the high camp section before the summit attempt, so preparation and rest become increasingly important. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Barafu Camp
Barafu to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Kilimanjaro
Rising (ft): 4700m/15,350ft to 5895m/19,343ft down to 3090m/10,150ft | Stretch: 6 km up / 13 km down | Hiking Time: 5-7 hours up / 5-6 hours down | Climatic habitat: Arctic.
