Directions To Protea Hotel Aishi Machame

Protea Hotel Aishi Machame is situated at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, a few kilometres from the Machame Gate and 3 degrees south of the equator. Machame village lies up against the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, in northern Tanzania. The area is a mosaic of beautiful valleys, deep gorges, rivers, waterfalls, farms and is home to the Chagga people. One can experience and witness the only agro-forestry "best practice", an intensive farming system of intercropping of mixed crop utilizing traditional irrigation. Machame is an ideal place for acclimatization before climbing the biggest mountain in Africa.

Area Attractions

The Machame Trail is a one-way ascent trail and perhaps the most scenic and certainly more challenging than the Marangu or Coca Cola route. Only tent camping is allowed and all equipment can be hired from the Hotel, as well as the experienced and knowledgeable guides and porters. The melted snow and ice from the mountain cascades down in the form of a majestic river that thunders past the grounds of the hotel and GUESTS can enjoy a picnic lunch on the banks of the river whilst nature reveals her secrets.
