Discover Mti Mkubwa (2,750m)
Mti Mkubwa (2,750m), meaning "Big Tree" in Swahili, is the first overnight camp on the Machame Route up Mount Kilimanjaro, reached after a moderate 5- 7 km hike through lush montane rainforest from the Machame Gate. The camp takes its name from the towering ancient trees that once stood in the area, offering hikers their first taste of camp life on the mountain amid a cool, misty forest environment alive with birdsong, colobus monkeys, and dense vegetation dripping with moss and epiphytes. Arriving typically in the afternoon after 3-5 hours of trekking, climbers set up camp here to acclimatize before continuing the next day into the moorland zone, with the overnight stay providing a crucial first adjustment to increasing altitude as well as a welcome rest amid the rainforest's cool, humid atmosphere.
