Climb Kilimanjaro, Machame

From a bird’s eye view, you can clearly see how seven paths stretch to the foot of the Kibo peak, each of which has its own characteristics. For example, only five of them can be climbed on Kilimanjaro, and the Kilimanjaro National Park itself vetoed the descent along them, and the Mweka trail only allows descent from the top of the volcano. But no matter which way the climber climbs Kilimanjaro, he will still hit the path called the North and South Rings of Kibo. It is circular and connects all seven trails at an altitude of more than 4 km above sea level. If you are energetic, thirsty for adrenaline and dream of an unforgettable trip, we will help you organize your unforgettable climb to Kilimanjaro, which will be a real shock to the senses and emotions.
