This is among the secrets of successful climbers of Mountain Kilimanjaro in East Africa. The key to the success of the Machame route is its topography, allowing hikers to climb high and sleep low, helping towards better acclimatisation. There are some challenges on this route including; Initially climbers will need to pass an area just before the Shira ridge and hike the Barranco Wall, both of which are physically demanding and also present a potential problem for hikers with a fear of heights. The another obstacle relates to the route’s high success rate, compounded by the fact that other routes join the Machame route from day 3 onwards – higher numbers of hikers can be therefore be encountered on this route. The route utilises the Mweka route as a descend route.
Umbwe Route:
This is the steepest route up or down Kilimanjaro, thus those few people who use this route do use this route to descend rather than ascending. The Umbwe route is usually recommended for descent only.
Additional days can be added to our program to discover or lighten up along the route or camp in the Karanga valley. Warm clothes, sleeping bag, walking poles and medical insurance cover are highly recommended for the 6 days itinerary via Umbwe.
Shira Route:
The route approaches Kilimanjaro through forest and moorland from the west, crossing the caldera of Shira volcano and explores the rock formations of the plateau, before traversing beneath the southern icefields of Kibo. We make our final ascent by the Barafu route.
