Frequently asked questions
How hard is the Barranco Wall?
It is a steep but non-technical scramble of about 1.5 hours. Guides lead the group slowly and there is no rope or climbing gear needed.
Why 7 days instead of 6?
The seventh day adds the Karanga camp, which lifts summit success from roughly 70% to well above 90%.
Is Machame busy?
It is Kilimanjaro's most popular route, so you will see other groups. We start each day slightly ahead of the crowds.
