Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 m and the highest free-standing mountain in the world: a walk, not a climb, but a serious one because of the altitude. The Machame route is the most scenic of the main trails and, over seven days, gives you the acclimatisation profile that lifts summit success well above the shorter options.
You are supported throughout by a certified lead guide, assistant guides, a cook and porters. They carry the camp, cook the meals and monitor your oxygen levels twice a day; you carry a daypack. All park fees, the rescue fee and pre and post-climb hotel nights in Moshi are included.
