Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro | Machame Route in 6 Days

Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa's tallest mountain. Mt. Kilimanjaro stands at 19,341 ft or 5,895 m above sea level. Hiking up Kilimanjaro is non-technical and is relatively safe. Mt. Kilimanjaro offers several routes to the summit. We took the Machame route and summited on day 5 and completed our trip in 6 days total. Kilimanjaro offers incredible scenery of mountains, wild life, and plants/trees found nowhere else in the world.

We began our Kilimanjaro climb by leaving the Machame gate, hiking through the rainforest, and making our way to Machame camp. On day 2, we begin our ascent towards Shira Cave camp. Along the way we were afforded some great views of Mt. Meru. Day 3 took us to Lava Tower for acclimatization. After we spent an hour or so there, we headed down to Baranco camp. The next morning, day 4, we ascended the 900 ft Baranco wall where we were greeted with an incredible sunrise and spectacular up close views of Kilimanjaro. From there we made our way to Barafu camp, where we got a few hours of sleep before leaving for the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro just before midnight. On the morning of day 5, we made our way to the summit where we were once again greeted with an awe-inspiring sunrise. There's nothing quite like an African sunrise from 19,000 ft! We eventually made our way back down to camp and moved further down the mountain to Mweke camp. The morning of day 6 led us to the Mweke gate where we wrapped up the adventure!
