Best Kilimanjaro climb by Macpace Tours and Safaris
Best Kilimanjaro climb for me and my husband we selected the machame route in 6 days and everything went smoothly. I want to thank Macpace Tours and Safaris for such an awesome trip. I'll definitely choose this company for my future wildlife safari in Serengeti, Tanzania.

Wonderful Kilimanjaro trek
We had a wonderful Kilimanjaro trek organized by Macpace Tours and Safaris. The guides and porters helped us to reach at the top. I never met the lovely people like these. Thanks to Macpace Tours!

The most enjoyable 6 days Machame route
This was among the most enjoyable 6 days Machame route Kilimanjaro trek. I chose this Kilimanjaro Camping route and sleeping in tents was very fun for me as I had never been in tents before. We were rewarded with the beautiful views of the mountain, both Kibo peak mawenzi peak and Mount Meru along the way. The trail was somewhat tiresome however we were kept energized by delicious meals at each campsite. The Kilimanjaro Cook from Macpace Tours is very professional he tried his best to keep us full stomach all the time. It was a very amazing tour as we both submitted safely with the best guides for this Kilimanjaro trek.

Kilimanjaro Macheme route and Ngorongoro crater
An amazing experience. We climbed Kilimanjaro and booked a safari in the Ngorongoro crater. Both were extremely well organised and we were very well looked after the whole time. The hotels we were put up in were very clean, friendly and relaxing. Egbert was extremely accommodating. We had issues with bags arriving late and he was able to adjust our plans for us without any hassle and allow us to still have the full experience we went for. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1950 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Trekking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Kilimanjaro climb by Lemosho Route (7-day), Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
