Getting around Machame primarily involves shared taxis (daladalas) for longer distances between villages and towns, offering an affordable, albeit bustling, local experience. For shorter trips or direct access to trailheads and attractions, hiring a private taxi or arranging transport through your lodge is more convenient and common. Negotiate fares beforehand. Walking is feasible within villages, but the hilly terrain and distances between key sites make other options more practical for most visitors exploring the wider Machame area.
