From there, the trail climbs through the forest towards Machame Camp before continuing to the Shira Plateau.<\/p><p>The route then crosses higher terrain towards Lava Tower and descends to Barranco Camp. From Barranco, climbers continue over the Barranco Wall towards Karanga Camp and then Barafu Camp, where the summit attempt begins.<\/p><p>The summit route passes Stella Point on the crater rim before continuing to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro. The descent follows the Mweka Route, with an overnight stop commonly made at Mweka Camp before continuing to Mweka Gate.<\/p><p>Use the map to understand the overall direction of the climb, the locations of the main camps and the different ascent and descent routes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6995e4 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-921cfc5 \" data-id=\"e6995e4\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"e6995e4\">\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5f74b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a5f74b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mountkilimanjarotours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Machame-Route-2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-153\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountkilimanjarotours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Machame-Route-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/mountkilimanjarotours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Machame-Route-2-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/mountkilimanjarotours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Machame-Route-2-768x525.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5eb9d3 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-3aea53c \" data-id=\"c5eb9d3\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"c5eb9d3\">\n    <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-802aa7f e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-5910f74 \" data-id=\"802aa7f\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"802aa7f\">\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55aa664 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"55aa664\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BEFORE YOU GO<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e3222a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1e3222a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8e9da3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a8e9da3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Difficulty, Altitude and Preparation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf5195f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf5195f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Climbing Kilimanjaro is a demanding physical undertaking.
