Kuhusu safari hii
A more gradual Machame programme with an additional acclimatisation day around Karanga. This option gives you more time before the summit attempt and suits guests who value a slower pace. The route begins in the rainforest at Machame Gate, reaches the Shira Plateau and crosses the high landscape around Lava Tower before descending to Barranco. After climbing the Barranco Wall, spend two nights at Karanga. The extra day allows a short guide-led acclimatisation walk and time back at camp before the ascent to Barafu. The summit attempt uses the Stella Point approach; descent follows Millennium Camp and Mweka Gate. Reserve ten calendar days and nine nights for the full journey, including arrival, eight mountain trekking days and the post-climb hotel night. Aishi Machame Hotel or Shose Farmhouse Chalets are the proposed hotel options before and after the camping trek. Their availability, room category and meal plan must be confirmed for your group. The acclimatisation walk depends on weather and group condition, and the summit attempt remains subject to the guide's safety decision.
