8-Day Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Climb (Machame Route)
Are you ready to conquer Africa’s highest summit? The 8-Day Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Climb (Machame Route) is tailor-made for adventurous travelers with a passion for pushing their limits. Known as the 'Whiskey' route, Machame is favored by trekkers seeking a physically demanding but highly rewarding ascent. Over eight days, you will traverse diverse landscapes—from lush rainforest and moorland to the stark alpine desert—each offering its own set of breathtaking vistas and challenges.
The journey begins with an approach from Kilimanjaro’s southwest, ascending through rich vegetation before opening onto the expansive Shira Plateau. The path is steeper and the days longer than on the Marangu route, ensuring the trek rewards those with some prior hiking or backpacking experience. High elevation and shifting terrain test both endurance and determination, making every step towards the summit a true accomplishment.
A highlight of this tour package is the descent via the scenic Mweka route, offering climbers new perspectives of the mountain’s varied habitats. Along the way, you’ll witness dramatic transitions in flora and fauna, with each camp bringing you closer to the ultimate goal: Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa.
What makes this trip unique is its combination of challenging adventure and awe-inspiring scenery—ideal for those who crave both physical achievement and natural beauty. Join fellow climbers on this unforgettable journey, and experience firsthand why Machame is considered one of the mountain’s most spectacular routes.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro 6-day Marangu Route
Step onto the legendary Marangu Route—famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route—for a classic 6-day Kilimanjaro trek. Renowned as the oldest and most established path to Africa’s summit, Marangu’s gradual slopes and hut accommodations make it one of the most accessible options for experienced travelers seeking a less technical climb.
While the route’s ascent and descent follow the same trail, its popularity peaks during the rainy season, when dry huts offer a welcome respite from wet ground. Although scenic variety is more limited compared to other routes, the ease of the path and shared dormitory-style huts are significant draws. For those with limited time, the minimum five-day requirement offers a swift yet rewarding ascent, with the option to add an extra day for better acclimatization.
The route’s unique selling point is its combination of comfort and accessibility, making it a favored choice for climbers who value tradition and convenience on their Kilimanjaro adventure.

Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route - Private Trip
The Marangu route is one of the most popular routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so, perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way, due to a shorter acclimatisation period.
The Marangu route does however offer you the option of spending an extra acclimatisation day on the mountain. This extends the route into a 6-day trek, greatly increasing your chances of success. This offer includes the 6 days trekking, and the trip will in total take 8 days including arrival and departure from Tanzania.
Shared hut accommodation on the Marangu route forms one of the main differences, compared to the other kilimanjaro routes. It offers you the relative luxury of being able to sleep in huts along the entire route. Mineral water, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are also sold at all the camps on this route. All your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all your meals.
This will be a climbing adventure of a lifetime. No previous mountaineering experience is needed. We will take care of your safety and make the utmost out of your trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro.
