Route Description

The Machame route, also referred to as the Whiskey route, is one of the most popular routes on Kilimanjaro and a favorite for us. Machame route is one of the highest summit success rates given the topography and nature of the route which allows climbers to “trek high & sleep low” hence making it a more favorable route for acclimatization. This route offers some of the most spectacular scenery while on the mountain. The Machame route starts in the south west side of the mountain and proceeds steeply north, traversing the Shira plateau and eventually joining the Shira and Lemosho routes just after the Shira cave camp. The Machame route can be done in minimum 6 days but a 7days trek is recommended to allow climbers been well rested and acclimatized before making the final ascent to the summit.

Highlights

  • Offers the best route for acclimatization
  • Enjoy the climb through forest, moorland and desert
  • Spot the black &white color Monkey
