Kilimanjaro - Machame Route - January 2026
The "Kilimanjaro - Machame Route" is a classic 9-day trekking tour for adventure-seekers and seasoned trekkers aiming to conquer Africa’s highest summit. Starting and ending in Arusha, this guided journey follows the popular "Whiskey Route," renowned for its scenic beauty and effective acclimatisation.
After ascending through lush rainforest, the trail rises steeply to the Shira Plateau and crosses the iconic Barranco Wall, offering spectacular panoramic views along the way. While technically non-demanding, the route requires stamina and determination, making it ideal for those with a good level of fitness. With a generous seven days on the mountain, the tour maximizes your chances for a safe and successful summit of Uhuru Peak.
This Kilimanjaro trek’s unique edge lies in its perfect blend of challenging terrain, diverse landscapes, and ample time for acclimatisation, making it one of the best ways to experience the thrill of standing atop Africa’s "Roof of the World."
