The Machame route is scenically beautiful and varied. However, due to its popularity there are increased numbers of trekkers, it loses some of its splendour. The Machame route approaches the summit from the southwest and descends using the Mweka route, rewarding climbers with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, an optional scramble up Lava Tower, a climb up the Great Barranco wall, and a traverse underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field.
In certain sections this route is steeper than the Marangu and Rongai routes and physically more demanding but is easier overall.
Great for acclimatization with lots of walk high, sleep low opportunities.
Challenging trek with stunning scenery through 5 diverse climatic zones.

Climbing Kilimanjaro in late May of 2024 with my father was an unforgettable experience. Although challenging, the climb was rewarding and the mountain was beautiful. Our mountain guides Haji and Joeffrey were unbelievably friendly, patient and helpful, without them and their team, the climb would have been an impossible task. They both went above and beyond what was expected of them, and I would highly recommend climbing with either of them.

Kilimanjaro trekking with KWESA is unforgettable. Our host Edward was great, he made everything easy from the time we contacted him asking about the trek. He was patient, flexible and professional as he worked with us to choosing a package that suited our budget and schedule.
We were paired with 2 amazing guides - Juma and Karama. They are very experienced on Kilimanjaro and their support is the reason we reached the summit safely. The trek was characterized by overcast skies, however it cleared on the last 2 days giving us incredible sights.
The food provided was excellent. Musa's cooking kept us asking for seconds. I was happy with the equipment that we had, the tents were spacious, water proof and quite comfortable.
Every aspect of the trek was well provided for. Asante sana Edward and team for a job well done.

This is a great tour where we trekked up to Kilimanjaro's summit with expert guides from Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari. The weather was great making trekking enjoyable. It got tougher and colder the higher we got, making the crews support necessary. Our guides Julius and Philip made the trek easier with their experience and advice. They were prepared for everything; right from the morning briefing on the days trekking section, maintaining a pace that was comfortable for us all, breaks and making sure that we were all fit to continue with the trek. The porters also did really well, by ferrying the heavy bags with our supplies, tents and other equipment that we needed for the trek.
The most challenging section was the summit night. I think we would have turned back without the encouragement and support from our guides. I was really happy to receive my certificate at the summit.
I have a lot appreciation for the KWESA team. They went out their way to keep us safe and pushed us towards achieving successful and safe summit. The service levels were very impressive and the all the equipment was of good quality and worked well.
I highly recommend this local company. They are the real deal.
