an experience above all expectations
I had this experience alone because I had already been in Tanzania for a few months. I felt followed and accompanied every moment, from preparation to the last day of trekking. It is not a route that I consider banal but I am satisfied by the views it offers and the breathtaking landscapes. The whole crew was very attentive, we ate very well (at times I forgot I was on Kilimanjaro from some of the comforts that were offered). I was able to rent the equipment on the day of departure at a great price. Nothing was missing. super recommended experience
Response from the operator: Hi Chiara, Thank you so very much for your lovely review.It was such an experience spending the moment with you in Moshi before and after the climb,from gears checking to starting and finishing.We truly appreciate your cooperation and humility.Thanks ones again,we wish you the best in all that you do and welcome back again to Tanzania. One love and ultimate honor.Best regards. Kilimanjaro Safari Experience

Excellent crew & organization!
The Kili trekking was very well & safely organized; our guides were most attentive and were clearly experienced so we felt we were in safe hands. The entire crew was amazing, the chef cooked the most delicious food each day and all the porters were super friendly. It was a great experience and we could not have wished for a better crew.
Response from the operator: Hi Indra Thank you two for the best review that you wrote us.Were truly humbled.Hope you both are doing grand back in Belgium.Were happy to say welcome back again in Tanzania for other experiences whenever possible. Best regards and much thanks to you two. Kilimanjaro Safari Experience.

Lifetime memories
I have been doing Machame route and it was an incredible experience. I also have been doing a 4days safari according to SHungu advise and it was also a very good and enjoyable experience. Additionnaly, Shungu made me discover the off track of Moshi activities and i have been to some incredible place and discovered some incredible people. Shungu has been available at any time and has answered every question i had. It is clearly a five star service. If you are interested of such trip or experience, i can only recommend that you take contact with Shungu and he will take care of the rest. Shungu, i hope that our road will cross again someday.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route cost?
+
Prices start at $2,200 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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route 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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route?
+
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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route 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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route?
+
Around 2 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 Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route 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, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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.
What is included in Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route?
+
Included: Private transportation; Filtered water throughout the trek; Guides & Porters Salaries; Lunch; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Visas, Insurances & Flights; Gratitude for Your Mountain Crew; Items of Personal Nature; and Laundry Services. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing; 6 Days Machame route offered in?
+
