climbing Mt Kilimanjaro Machame route With extra day of acclimatisation at Karanga Valley
The Machame is a wilderness route which combines spectacular views and
scenery, good acclimatisation. it is perhaps the best of the standard routes on the mountain, and the one recommended for those wanting an uncomplicated but rewarding trek on Kilimanjaro

DAY 5:Extra Day
