Highlights

Drive to Machame Gate, Hike to Machame Camp

Machame Trail - Elevation: 1830m To 3050m | Distance: 11km/7mi | Hiking Time: 5-6 Hours

Drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 45 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. We depart the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. At lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp.

Additional Information

Machame Route now vies with

  • the Marangu Route as the most popular trail. Machame is also the regarded by many guides as the most enjoyable, though it is longer and, according to most, more arduous. Despite this, the success rate on the Machame Route is higher than on the Marangu Route, possibly because the Machame is a day longer at six days and five nights (assuming you take the Barafu Route to the summit) which gives trekkers more time to acclimatize. An extra acclimatization day can

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro wouldn’t be a success without the help of the guides especially Justin. - The whole arrangement of almost 70 people climbing at the same time amazed me. From how we were accommodated in Moshi all the way to starting the journey up the mountain to the food, the never miss hot water, to how the guides and porters carried our heavy bags just to gain that extra strength to reach to the peak was impressive. It felt good to be taken care of unconditionally especially when one had an injury an army of helper guides were open to help. Pinnacle Adventures is the best nothing can beat them. It was all worth it! 💯

What an adventure! - Firstly the organisation of the trip was fantastic, information, guidance etc.. all to top spec. Secondly what can I say, the local Guides Pinnacle use are amazing these guys above everything Make the trip. Their knowledge and skills of the mountain are next too none. These guys made the trip for me and when I come to my next adventure it will be with Pinnacle because of their support for the local economies and support for the local people.

The Rock Steady Team - The entire experience from airport to mountain to airport was fantastic with only one small issue regarding the the transfer of PCR results in Tanzania. I Recommend that the Pinnacle representative stay close by until entry into the airport is confirmed. The Guides and Porters did great and the team was well looked after. I'd recommend Pinnacle as the best option to anyone that was considering climbing Kilimanjaro.

Best Company for Kilimanjaro - Me and my friends climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via the 6 day Machame route. It was one of the most difficult but at the same time amazing thing I have ever done in my life. The thrill of standing there, at the peak touching the sign saying you have successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro is something I cannot explain as it is beyond words. I would truly recommend Pinnacle adventures and Safaris Co L.t.d to anyone wishing to summit the mountain. Thank you again Pinnacle for giving us the experience of a lifetime!

My Experience with Pinnacle on Kilimanjaro - I can honestly say that this was an experience of a lifetime made possible by the highly trained team at Pinnacle Adventures. From the point of booking the adventure to the debriefing after the trip, it was the teams in the booking office to the teams on the ground that made this trip amazing. The guides were just phenomenal and the porters, so hardworking. It's like watching a well oiled machine at work and everything is tailored to your needs, pace, diet, wellbeing etc. The team (18!) that accompanied us, expressed genuine care for every person in our group of 5. Nothing was too much trouble or effort. The food which was freshly prepped everyday (on the side of a mountain!) was delicious, nutritious and comforting. We had hearty soups - such a comfort after a days trekking in cold weather, amazing main meals and desserts and snacks. They even baked us a congratulatory cake on the day after summit. How they achieved this on a gas stove is beyond me. The guides were professionally attired in technical mountain gear and were easily identifiable with their orange outfits. This was in stark contrast to guides from other companies who did not stand out like this. I cannot recommend Pinnacle enough and will definitely use the again and have been recommending them to friends and family.

Mt. Kilimanjaro via Machame route - Highly recommended with Pinnacle - My experience in Tanzania (Moshi - Mt Kilimanjaro) was an amazing one thanks to Frazier and his professional team: organization, responsabitily and great knowledge about the environment/local area are their specific characteristics! Full of passion and funny personality as well😁 Lot of opportunities, this is the key that allowed me to see different parts and aspects of Tanzania. I'm so grateful too for the time that Frazier dedicated to show me around places like Materuni waterfalls, local market, coffee experience and so on. It's enought to spend a day with Frazier and he will make you love Tanzania (so at the end you will have the desire to be back!). Thank you for the awesome experience, so Pinnacle Adventures & safaris Ltd is highly appreciated and recommended to everyone!
