Overview
This slower Machame itinerary keeps everything that makes the route popular, including the high ridges, the Western Breach views and the climb up the Barranco Wall. It simply gives you more time to get used to the altitude.
It is still a demanding trek, with longer and steeper days than Marangu and tents every night. The extra days, compared with our shorter Machame climbs, improve acclimatization and your overall chance of summiting, so we suggest it to anyone who can spare the time.
You pass through every climate zone on the mountain, from wet forest at the gate to the bare alpine desert below the crater rim. Our weather and climate zones guide explains each stage.
