After a short drive to Machame Gate, you'll begin your hike through lush rainforests, alpine meadows, and scenic landscapes, taking in stunning views of the mountain and its diverse ecosystems. As you ascend, you'll pass through different zones, from tropical forests to open heathlands, offering opportunities to spot wildlife and unique plants.
