The trip

Machame is the most popular Kilimanjaro route for a reason: five days up, two days down, two acclimatisation peaks, and the dramatic Barranco Wall scramble. We do it over 7 days (rather than the discount-operator 6) for the extra night at altitude.

Best for: Travelers wanting the iconic Kili climb with full Tai Trails support.
