What are the disadvantages of the Machame Route?

The Machame route is the most popular route to climb Kilimanjaro, so expect to climb together with many others.

If you want to avoid the crowds, you might want to consider another route as an alternative to the Machame route.

To avoid the crowds, the 7-day Rongai Route will allow you to climb in the authentic wilderness. However, the altitude profile of the Rongai Route is not as good as the Machame Route.

To avoid the crowds and improve your summit success chance, we would recommend the longer 8 or 9-day Northern Circuit or Grand Traverse routes.
