HIGHLIGHTS
- Climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world
- Magnificent views from various viewpoints
On this trek, we will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa through the Machame route.
The route known as the “Whiskey” route, the Machame route is now the most popular ascent route on Mt Kilimanjaro. Compared with the Marangu route, the walking days on the Machame route are longer and the walks are steeper. However, the scenery is spectacular and landscape interesting. The Machame route is considered a difficult route and is better suited for more adventurous trekkers and those with some hiking or backpacking experience.
The Machame route is scenically beautiful and varied. However, due to its popularity, there are increased numbers of trekkers. The Machame route approaches the summit from the southwest and descends using the Mweka route, rewarding climbers with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, an optional scramble up Lava Tower, a climb up the Great Barranco wall, and a traverse underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field.
This is a 7-day trip in total. Please go through the itinerary section to fin out what you'll be doing each day.
