Why is the Machame Route so popular?

The Machame Route on Kilimanjaro is a very scenic route with an ideal altitude profile for acclimatization (high hike, sleep low). Its starting point is easily accessible within a short drive from Kilimanjaro airport and Moshi. Scenic highlights of the Southern Circuit include the forest, Lava Tower and Barranco Wall. As the Machame Route ticks all the boxes for an ideal hiking route to climb Kilimanjaro, it has naturally also become the most popular route on the mountain.
