Kill Trek by Machame Route

Distance covered: 10.8km / 6.7mi - Approx. time took: 6 hours One hour's drive from Moshi lies the gate to the Machame route, where we complete park formalities, meet our crew of porters, and start to climb! The first section of the route climbs steadily and passes through magnificent, dense rainforests. This path is less well-trodden so it can get somewhat overgrown in places and it is often wet and muddy underfoot.

Camping

Distance covered: 10.8km / 6.7mi - Approx. time took: 8 hrs Walking now on high moorland, the landscape changes the entire character of the trek. We traverse the southwest side of Kilimanjaro, passing underneath the Lava Tower and the final section of the Western Breach, and finally reach camp The day has been spent at altitude (up to 4600m), but we have followed the mountaineering code of 'walk high, sleep low to aid your body's acclimatization to altitude.

Camping

Distance covered: 3km / 1.9mi - Approx. time took: 3 hours After a good night's rest and breakfast, we set off on our walk to Barafu camp at 4640m. The climb will take us across desolate scree slopes with no vegetation around us at all. It's a tough steep walk made more difficult by the altitude. On arriving at camp we eat and spend the afternoon resting as we prepare for a long night and day ahead. It is important to keep hydrated and warm.

Camping

Distance covered: 12.1km / 7.5mi - Approx. time took: 6 hours A gentle trek takes us down through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, where we complete park formalities and receive certificates, which you can hang up with pride! We are then met by our vehicles and return to the hotel in Moshi, where you can treat yourself to a welcome shower (and a cold beer or two!) before our big celebration. *Safari and Zanzibar add-ons are available if you wish to continue exploring Tanzania
