7 Days Machame Route Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro

I recently completed the 7-day Machame Route hike to Mount Kilimanjaro with Kilisa Tours & Safaris, and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime. From beginning to end, the trek was exceptionally well-organized. The guides demonstrated deep knowledge, patience, and unwavering support—particularly during the summit ascent, where their encouragement and steady pacing proved invaluable. They maintained a consistent "pole pole" (slowly, slowly) rhythm and continuously checked in to ensure we were acclimatizing properly and feeling well. The Machame Route itself offers breathtaking diversity. Each day revealed new landscapes—from the lush rainforest on day one to the dramatic Shira Plateau, the exhilarating Barranco Wall, and the stark beauty of the alpine desert approaching Barafu Camp. The route’s acclimatization profile is excellent, and I am confident it contributed significantly to our group’s high summit success rate. The support crew—porters, cooks, and camp staff—exceeded expectations. We were warmly welcomed at each camp with hot meals and comfortable resting areas. The quality of the food was remarkable for a mountain expedition—nutritious, hearty, and far above what I had anticipated. Reaching Uhuru Peak was both emotional and exhilarating. Witnessing the sunrise from the Roof of Africa was a deeply rewarding moment and one of the proudest accomplishments of my life. For anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb, I highly recommend the 7-day Machame Route. It offers the perfect balance of challenge, scenic variety, and effective altitude adaptation. I strongly encourage choosing Kilisa Tours & Safaris as your operator—they deliver an outstanding and unforgettable experience.

We had the most incredible experience hiking Mount Kilimanjaro for eight days through Lemosho Route. Thanks to all the crew for making us achieve the summit and making us feel at home Everything was exceptional; from the moment we started the journey until the very end were amazing. The accommodation was fantastic. The guides Goodlucky, Abraham & Joseph were very knowledgeable, friendly and truly made the trip memorable. They helped us to believe in our ability and made our mindset believe it will be easy to achieve it. Their teamwork helps everything to be easier, boosting the journey in the middle of hardship by motivating us with songs gives us joy and relaxation, the word of hope was POLEPOLE help us remain stronger and enjoy the trekking despite the obstacles we meet in the journey we won it. Talking about the food and drinks the chef prepared, it was the best and gave us energy for hiking. We can’t thank you enough, but I highly recommend this local company for anyone looking for a memorable experience of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.

We decided to join the perfect group that led us to the top of Africa with the company called KILISA TOURS & SAFARIS and anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro I would recommend this as I will definitely suggest the company to anyone looking for a great time in the Mountain. What can I say? The trip was fantastic, the price was reasonable and they offered the best of the best service that exceeded our expectations, the team was super great and helpful, the food was excellent and plenty, tents and campsite was fantastic including the private toilet, not to mention the great porter team as they sang cool songs which kept us on ongoing and motivated through the entire trek After the trek we headed for 6 days safari to Tarangiri, Ngorogoro and Serengeti in a highly top notch service as well I definitely recommend Kilisa Tours & Safaris to ensure you got the experience you expecting for Kilimanjaro hike and Safari as well
