This route starts at the western side of the mountain with the possibility of seeing the wild animals in the rain forests including black and white colobus monkey, blue monkey, small lizards as well as different bird species. It is the perfect route to the climbers who wants to a slightly longer and more relaxed climb. The route is less crowded until it joins the Machame route near Lava tower, this will almost be on day 3 of the hike. The climbers descend via Mweka gate.
