KILIMANJARO – MACHAME ROUTES

Machame approaches from the Western side of the mountain, climbing through rainforest to reach the Shira Plateau, before following a spectacular three day circuit of the Kibo Massif, the final push to Stella Point and on to Uhuru Peak.

The less frequented Machame route includes six days of actual climbing, allowing additional time for altitude acclimatization. Climbers ascend and descend by a different route, encountering more wild and varied scenery along the way. Additionally, climbing the route does not present any particular technical difficulty.

DAY  ONE: Machame Camp (10,000 ft)

  Machame  camp (10,000 ft) After breakfast, you depart at approximately 8:30 AM for the Machame village where you begin the trek. From the park entrance gate (Machame), you will walk for about two to three hours trek through a dense forest of fig and rubber trees, begonia flowers, and other tropical vegetation. A stop for lunch will be made halfway to this evening’s campsite. As you continue your ascent, you will find that the tropical forest has given way to tall grasses and giant heather. You will be walking on a ridge, to the left of which is the Semira stream and on the right, the  Weru Weru. Depending on the pace of the climbers, arrival at Machame Camp is usually between 5:00PM and 6:00PM.

DAY TWO: Shira Camp (12,500 ft)

On this and subsequent mornings, wake-up call is at around 6:00 AM. You will be greeted with a steaming cup of tea or coffee, and weather permitting, by a fabulous view of Uhuru peak. Today’s trek takes you up a steep track through a savannah of tall grasses, volcanic rock, and bearded heather. You will encounter giant groundsels as you hike through a ghostly landscape of volcanic lava, caves, and foamy streams.

Lunch will be taken just below the Shira Plateau, about three to four hours from Shira Camp. The hike to the next campsite takes approximately six hours and you should arrive between 2:00 PM and 3:00PM. Most climbers tend to pace themselves, walking slowly and resting about every half-hour as there is little to do once reaching camp.

DAY THREE – Barranco Camp (13,000 ft)

The entire Shira Plateau greets you this morning. A  steady walk takes you up to the pass at Lava Tower (15,00 ft), where you stop to have lunch. Crossing the Bastains stream, you will begin to descend towards Barranco Camp. The descent takes you along an immense canyon called Grand Barranco. Along the way, you will see numerous waterfalls, which are fed, by streams coming from the mountain, streams coming from the mountain, converging here to form the Umbwe river. Your camp is set at almost the same altitude as the night before today’s trek lasts for about six hours and arrival at camp is between 4:30PM and 5:30PM

DAY FOUR – Karanga Camp (13,000 ft)

This morning you begin your hike to Karanga Camp which is on the same altitude as Barranco Camp. You will encounter a bit of a climb at Barranco Cliff and spend the rest of the trek climbing up and down the slopes of the mountain most of the way to camp. The climbing is not considered difficult and you should arrive in time for lunch (approximately 1:00PM) having trekked for about four hours. In the afternoon you have the opportunity to hike in Karanga Valley where giant scenecio and lobelia grow; however, you are well advices to rest as much as you possibly can to prepare you for the climb ahead.

DAY FIVE – Barafu Camp (15,200 ft)

The scenic climb to Barafu is mostly on moraine with a view of Mawenzi peak towering majestically to the right, and overhead, Kibo peak seemingly just out of reach. The alpine desert terrain encountered at this point is mostly a mineral environment with few lichens are mosses. Lunch will be taken along the way and climbers arrive at Barrafu Camp at around 2:30PM. Climbers who choose to ascend the peak will go to bed very early this night as the next day is the longest one.

DAY SIX – Ascent to Summit (19,430 ft) / Descent to Mweka Camp (10,200 ft)

You will be awakened at midnight and after a light breakfast, start climbing at around 1:00 AM. It is at this stage that the climb becomes much more difficult. Here, very few will not be suffering from altitude sickness in some form or another; and climbers should carry as little as possible on this portion of the climb. Temperatures will range from -4° to 5° Fahrenheit. Making your way up a path that is flanked by the Ratzel and Rebman glaciers, you will climb for about six hours before reaching the edge of the crater, between Stella and Hans Meyer points. Another hour of climbing brings Hans Mayer points. Another hour of climbing brings you to the summit. Uhuru stands at 19,340 feet and is the highest point on the continent of Africa. The trade around the edge of the crater is rocky and icy. Concentrate on your feet, and follow your guide very closely for this portion of the journey. The descent is no easier than the ascend . You will reach Kibo Hut after about three hours (around 11:30 AM). Climbers will be given the opportunity to rest and have some refreshments before continuing on to Mweka Camp for the night. Arriving into camp at around 5:00PM,you will have trekked a total of thirteen hours today

DAY SEVEN – Mweka to the Gate

On the final day of the journey, climbers descend from Mweka camp to the base. The descent to the gate will take approximately 5 hours and climbers usually arrive before noon. Upon arrival at the gate climbers will be rewarded with certificates attesting their success at climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

KILIMANJARO – SHIRA ROUTE

The Shira Route approaches from the Western side also, but has a trailhead that is more diffucult to access and thus less used by the budget operators. Furthermore, there are two approaches, either from the Londorossi Gate or through the Lemosho Glades, allowing for a wilderness approach. On Day three the trail splits into two, following either the same route as Machame or else traversing the Western Breach via a little used, more difficult route via various high-altitude camps to the summit. The Shira Western Breach is a seven night/eight day route which allows plenty of time for acclimatization with a descent down the steep Mweka trail so that clients sleep at 18,000 feet the night before summit, only three hours away, before descending to suck in big air at 10,00 feet the night after their climb. This allows for a far higher success rate and the chance to arrive at the summit before the groups on other routes who left their final camp at midnight the night before and have still not arrived.

DAY ONE – Forest camp (9000ft)

Breakfast at Mount Meru Game Lodge before a drive across the Masai Steppe to our trailhead in the Lemosho Glades at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We start climbing through the forest to our own private camp – a gentle walk of a few hours to stretch our legs in anticipation of the long climb ahead.

DAY TWO – Shira camp (11000 feet)

After breakfast in the chattering forest, we start a slow walk to aid acclimatization through the forest and into the Hagenia zone, where the vegetation begins to thin out as we approach  th Shira Plateau. Shira is one of the three crater of the Kilimanjaro volcanic massif, the others being Mawenzi and Kibo and from our camp we have great views of the Shira needles and the distant form of the 15,000ft. Mount Meru.

DAY THREE – Heather camp (125000feet)

After a spectacular sunrise that reveals the magnitude of the distant snow-capped crater, we slowly climb into the alpine heather zone, approaching the Kibo massif from the west, to our private camp. Today is a shorter walk allowing for further exploration of the lobelias, senecios and other endemic plants on an acclimatizing walk for those so inclined.

DAY FOUR – Lava Tower camp 14,300feet

As the vegetation slowly thins out, we approach the Alpine Desert Zone, where few things survive except the toughest of lichens and tussock grasses and the temperatures swing between the searing heat of tropical Africa and the freezing extremes of a 19,000 ft mountain. We camp in the shelter of the lava Tower, an imposing monolith from Kilimanjaro’s volcanic past.

DAY FIVE – Arrow Glacier (15500 feet)

In the early morning, we have sweeping views of Meru , Kibo Massif and the Western Breach the imposing wall which constitutes our climb over the next two days. In order to aid acclimatization, we slow down the pace and walk a short distance to the base of the breach where we make our camp at Arrow Glacier. The afternoon is free for a short walk in the name of “walk high, sleep low” philosophy of sound acclimatization. As the temperature drops we are treated to one of the finest sunsets in Africa before we climb into our tents for sleep.

DAY SIX – Summit Crater camp

Another early start after a cold night and we face up to the imposing western Breach that looms above us. We take the non-technical ascent route climbing slowly for six hours, our path sometimes covered in the famous snows of Kilimanjaro. As we reach the top of the wall, we slowly traverse a crater before arriving at our own special camp, far higher than any other on the mountain. Here we rest up and prepare for the final push tomorrow.

DAY SEVEN – Summit – Mweka camp 10,500 feet

Thanks to our careful acclimatization and slow ascent to this final camp, we are closer to the summit than any of the other limbers and do not have a grueling final day with only a final two hour hike to the crater summit and a ten minute final stretch to Uhuru Summit, the Roof Of Africa. Arriving at the summit for sunrise, we are captivated by the sweeping vistas in all directions, applauding the sheer magnitude of our achievement before we start our descent After a thrilling scree run for two hours, we follow the Mweka descent path, feeling the air thicken as we descend, as we reach Mweka Camp after a tiring but rewarding seven hour trek and 9000ft. descent. Here we celebrate our achievements amidst the thick forest reliving one of the definitive moments of our life.

DAY EIGHT – Mweka Gate / Mount Meru Game Lodge

Hiking time will vary depending on the trail conditions while traveling through the lush vegetation at this elevation. Rain can occur any time of year at this location and can make the trail muddy requiring a slower pace. Once we have descended the 4,500 feet the road head we will have our lunch and say good-bye to our mountain staff before heading off to the hotel. At the Mount Meru Game Lodge you can relax on the terrace or nap in a hammock in your own private villa overlooking the magnificent garden of this tropical paradise.
