The Machame Route
The Machame Route is more difficult than the Marangu Route, the Machame Route is favoured by more experienced climbers and alpine walkers.
This route approaches the mountain from the south-west and provides climbers with spectacular views of Mt. Meru. Accommodation is in spartan tents/camps and this route is best for those with a little more climbing experience.
