Question 1

How hard is the Machame Route Compared To The Lemosho Route, Umbwe Route, and Marangu Route?

Accepted Answer

The Machame route ranks fourth in difficulty, right after the Rongai route, while the Lemosho route ranks first overall. Though this is the case, the Machame route's gradual slopes make for great acclimatization opportunities.

Question 2

Is There A Mountain Climbing Section During this Machame Route's 7-day itinerary?

Accepted Answer

The Machame route, Umbwe route and the Lemosho route have access to the Western Breach route, which requires technical mountain climbing skills and mountain climbing equipment. In order to gain access to the climbing route, climbers are required to sign a mountain climbing waiver with an operator. Mountain climbers will not have access to the Western Breach route, if they trek via Marangu, Rongai or the Northern Circuit route. The ultimate trekking adventures on Kilimanjaro last between 7-9 days on the mountain.

Question 3

Can You Opt For Hut Accommodations On The Machame Route Instead Of Camping Tents?

Accepted Answer

The Marangu Route is the only Kilimanjaro climbing route that features hut accommodations and good WiFi network. Aside from the Marangu trail, the mountain's alternative climbing routes come with camping accommodations and better scenic viewpoints. However you should note the Rongai route does offer hut accommodations, on the last day of your trek, when descending via Marangu Route. Unlike camping grounds, hut accommodations on the mountain tend to fill up very quickly.

Question 4

Would An Ultimate Trip Start With A Serengeti Safari Itinerary Before Or After Climbing The Mountain?

Accepted Answer

The ultimate travel itinerary would make for a safari trip right after your trekking adventure. By climbing first make the hard stuff about your travel done and and all that's left is to relax in your safari Land Cruiser, as you enjoy wildlife sightings. This is what most climbers do when they add a safari travel itinerary onto their ultimate climbing adventures.
