Your journey starts with a drive from Moshi to the Machame Gate. After signing in and getting a quick briefing, you’ll begin your walk through a thick rainforest. The trail is surrounded by green trees, and you might even see some animals along the way. You’ll hike for about 5 to 7 hours, covering around 11 km (7 miles), before reaching Machame Camp, which is 3,010 meters (9,875 feet) above sea level.
