Overview
Overview
Machame approaches Kilimanjaro from the southwest and joins the southern circuit above the forest. The six-day itinerary is best suited to fit trekkers who understand that a shorter mountain schedule provides less acclimatisation time than the seven-day version. All route, pace and continuation decisions remain with the licensed mountain team and park procedures.
