In the morning, your guide and mountain support crew will meet you at the hotel for a brief orientation. Following this, you’ll be driven to the Machame Gate, the entrance to Kilimanjaro National Park. Once there, the necessary formalities, including obtaining climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, will be completed. The group will then begin the trek to Machame Camp. The trail winds through the lush rainforest, where tropical rain showers are common. It’s advisable to bring a raincoat and a set of dry clothes for this section of the journey.
