Machame Trek is a more demanding but much less climbers traffic and scenic route up Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek is a day longer and the overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the accompanying porters. Highlights of this route are the Shira Plateau, Barranco Wall and the Karanga Valley reaching the summit via Stella Point. Because this route traverses river valleys on the Southern Slopes, it is recommended that trekkers must be physically fit, and with the additional day on trek to assist with acclimatization, there is a good chance of reaching the summit - Uhuru Peak. |

Climb / Trek Overview

Umbwe Trek starts on the southern side of Mount Kilimanjaro at Umbwe Gate. This is a fairly steep route, and is recommended for the very fit or experienced trekker. Steep forest paths give way to heath and moorland before becoming rocky, and this is where the trek becomes more challenging. Approach to the summit is via Barafu and Stella Point with the descent being via Mweka. |

Shira Trek starts at an altitude of 11600ft (3500m), and should only be endeavored by trekkers who are already acclimatized, or know from previous trekking or climbing experience that they can tolerate altitude. From the trailhead, the route heads east across the center of the Shira Plateau, where one is often likely to spot big game such as elephants and buffalos. The route then joins up with Machame Trek at Shira Camp, and approaches the summit via Stella Point descending via Mweka Camp. |

Rongai Trek is rapidly gaining popularity, and is considered to be one of the easiest routes up Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the only route starting from the north side of the mountain at Rongai, a small village close to the Kenyan border. The climbing conditions are drier on the northern side of the mountain, and there are fantastic sweeping views over the broad flat Maasai lands. Overnights are spent camping in tents. The summit is reached via the east side of Kibo and the descent is via the Marangu Trek. |
