About this experience
The Machame Route is approximately 62 km/ 37 miles from gate to gate. It is designed for physically fit people with some hiking experience, but plenty of the first-time trekkers use the route as well and do just fine. It is rated as one of Kilimanjaro's best routes and thus is recommended.
