About The Package
Tanzania is one of the most fascinating destinations that offer something much for everyone. Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the most famous and highest freestanding mountains in the world, rising from the north-eastern part of Tanzania. The mountain is situated in the Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania. A Kilimanjaro climb through the Machame route is really challenging and exciting. The day walks are longer and steeper than the others, but your efforts are rewarded with breathtaking views of Kibo Peak and the everlasting ice fields. During the climb to Kilimanjaro, you will also enjoy great access to the glacier and the Western Breach. From sunsets at Shira, to the misty revelations of Kibo at the great Barranco Wall, the Machame route offers the adventurous hiker a stunning scenic view.
