The Machame Route has become one of the, if not the most, popular route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. As a result of an extra day to acclimatise and trekking at high altitude during the day and sleeping at lower elevations, the probability of successfully reaching the Uhuru peak is higher than on some of the other routes. For many it is the preferred route due to the beautiful views and the opportunity to cross the different climate zones with their unique vegetations.
