KILIMANAJRO CLIMB -MACHAME ROUTE-1 PDF Print E-mail

Kilimanjaro Climb by Alpine Adventure Safaris The whisky route otherwise machame trail happens to be the most adventurous while its less crowded with many hikers prefering the easy cocacola route. It takes you through the shira plateau where the visibility of the breach wall becomes wild with its massive Kibo Dome pulling closer to your eyes every step of the hike! Stretching Ridges and Valleys are a phenomenon .In a clear sky,its just a breath taking climb up the Barranco Wall and down the wild  Karanga Valley.
