In the cold wee hours of the morning we begin the steepest and most demanding part of the climb. We spend the nights in huts, an porters carry our gear, during our ascent to the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro . Copyright 1997 by African Safari Shop. All rights reserved. The Machame route takes a minimum of 6 days and is far more demanding than the Marangu route.
Accommodation is in tents, rather than huts.
The reward for doing the more physically demanding route is scenery that is spectacular and also relatively unspoiled.
