7 JOURS MACHAME KILIMANJARO TREK EN GROUPE ( 24 JUNE AU 02 JULY 2025)

Vous serez transféré par la route de la ville de Moshi (09h00) à la porte de Machame. Après l'enregistrement, vous commencerez votre trekking à travers la zone de forêt tropicale avec votre guide. La forêt est épaisse et diversifiée avec de la flore et de la faune, et il est possible qu'il pleuve cet après-midi, ce qui est courant dans cette zone, rendant le sentier légèrement glissant. Une randonnée régulière mais relativement raide vous mènera à la lisière de la forêt et de la zone de bruyère.

Today's hike is a little shorter, and begins with a trek through heather and moorland to a steep ridge that leads to the semi-circular cliff known as Picnic Rock. From here, you'll have an excellent view (on a clear day) of Kibo Peak, the highest cone on the mountain, where your goal, Uhuru Peak, lies. You should also be able to see the jagged peaks of the Shira plateau to the west. Shira is Kilimanjaro's third highest peak, shaped by lava flows, erosion and volcanic activity. Tanzania's second highest mountain (Mt Meru 4563m or 14970ft) can be seen in the distance. The rest of the day is spent on a much gentler, flatter track to your camp, where the views are just as spectacular.

Today's hike takes you to the Kibo cone, climbing steadily and crossing the edges of the alpine desert to your first high altitude at the lava tower (4630m or 15190ft). This day will help you acclimatize and be a good indicator of your body's ability to cope with higher altitude. From the lava tower, you begin a steep, counter-clockwise descent around Kibo and into the Barranco valley, passing the large flowering mountain cacti (Kilimanjaro Senecios), unique to Kilimanjaro. The day ends at about the same altitude as the start, on the edge of heather and moorland.

Today's hike takes you directly to the Kibo cone, climbing steadily through alpine desert. The landscape changes dramatically as you leave behind the heather and moorland area and move onto the arid saddle (the hollow between the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks). You reach the hut in time to rest up for your summit attempt this evening.

Approximate distance by car: Approximate trekking time: 5-7 hours

Approximate trekking distance: 12km / 7.5mi Starting altitude: 3700m or 12140ft

Altitude gain / loss: +1003m or +3290ft Meals included: Breakfast, picnic lunch or lunch, dinner

Today, you climb almost casually through the empty alpine desert landscape, keeping a slow pace even though the path is not extremely steep. The Kibo cone begins to close in and you can finally see Mawenzi Peak (Kilimanjaro's second highest peak) to the east. The short distance means you have plenty of time at summit camp to rest and prepare for tonight's summit attempt.

Tôt le matin (vers 00h00), vous commencez votre ascension finale vers le sommet du pic Uhuru à travers la zone arctique. Le trekking est une randonnée raide sur des éboulis volcaniques dans la nuit noire et froide et se déroule à un rythme lent en zigzag jusqu'au point Stella (5685m ou 18650ft) qui est votre première étape sur le bord du cratère du Kibo. De là, une courte (mais difficile) randonnée vous mènera au pic Uhuru (5895m ou 19341ft), le point culminant de l'Afrique. Vous ne passerez généralement pas beaucoup de temps au sommet en raison de l'altitude extrême et redescendrez au camp de base pour votre petit-déjeuner / brunch. Après avoir rangé vos affaires, vous continuerez la descente à travers le désert alpin, la bruyère et la lande, pour finalement vous arrêter au camp de Mweka dans la zone de la forêt tropicale pour un repos bien mérité.
