6 days Machame route from Moshi itinerary
Day 1: Machame Gate to Machame Camp
Your adventure begins with a drive from Moshi to the Machame Gate. After registration and meeting your guides and porters, you start the trek through the dense rainforest. The path is well-defined and winds through a vibrant ecosystem filled with towering trees and exotic wildlife.
After a 5-7 hour hike, you reach Machame Camp at an altitude of 3,000 meters (9,843 feet). This first camp is a great spot to acclimatize and enjoy your first night on Kilimanjaro.
Day 2: Machame Camp to Shira Camp
The second day takes you out of the rainforest and into the moorland zone. The trail becomes steeper and rockier, offering stunning views of the Shira Plateau. The changing landscape provides a fantastic backdrop for your ascent.
You will arrive at Shira Camp, located at 3,840 meters (12,598 feet), after a 4-6 hour trek. The camp offers incredible views of Kibo Peak and the expansive plateau below. This is a great place to relax and prepare for the next day’s journey.
Day 3: Shira Camp to Barranco Camp
On the third day, you trek from Shira Camp to Barranco Camp, passing the iconic Lava Tower at 4,630 meters (15,190 feet). This part of the hike is crucial for acclimatization, as you ascend high and descend to sleep at a lower altitude. The landscape here is marked by unique rock formations and spectacular views of the Western Breach.
After descending from the Lava Tower, you reach Barranco Camp at 3,960 meters (12,992 feet). The camp is set in a picturesque valley surrounded by steep cliffs and the famous Barranco Wall, which you will climb the next day.

Day four starts with the ascent of the Barranco Wall, a challenging but rewarding climb that offers stunning views from the top. The trail then descends into the Karanga Valley before rising again to reach Barafu Camp at 4,640 meters (15,223 feet).
Barafu Camp serves as the base camp for your summit attempt. You will have an early dinner and rest, preparing for the midnight start of your climb to the summit.

The summit day begins around midnight. You will ascend through the starlit night, with the aim of reaching Stella Point at sunrise.
