6-day Machame Route (1/6): Machame Gate (1,800 m/5,905 ft) - Machame Camp (2,835 m/9,301 ft)

The first morning, your guide picks you up from the hotel and takes you to Machame Gate. The first part leads you through coffee and banana plantations, as well as an untouched and very green rainforest. After a five to six-hour hike, you reach the Machame Camp on the edge of the forest area with a heath zone. This is your first day at this altitude, so remember to drink plenty of water!
