Safari summary

This is 7 days Kilimanjaro hike starting at Machame gate and ascending via The Western Breach. Due to the relatively extreme nature of this trip there are generally less people than on other routes and if guests have altitude sickness they will not be allowed to ascend the breach. This is the 7 days version with a night in the crater – pre acclimatization on Mt Meru is strongly recommended
