One the seven main routes used to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the Machame route is the most popular path. It is the route of choice for many people because it provides impressive views and a variety of habitats. About 50% of all climbers, and most seasoned climbers, choose the Machame route.
The Machame route is also known as the Whiskey route, given its reputation for being a tough climb, in contrast to the easier Marangu route, which is known as the Coca Cola route. Unlike the gradual incline and hut accommodations found on the Marangu Route, the climbers on Machame hike steeper trails, for longer distances, while sleeping in tents.
Despite it being a little more difficult it is highly recommended because it provides a fantastic trail and great views along the way. We are looking very to taking you on a trip of a lifetime.
Embark on the most popular Kilimanjaro trekking route—the Marangu, often called the Coca-Cola route for its reputation as a relatively accessible climb. Unlike other routes, Marangu offers hut accommodations in place of tents, providing added comfort and protection from the elements. The trek begins at around 6,000 feet and, like all others, ends at the summit, making it an appealing choice for those who favor convenience. While some attempt the climb in five days, six or seven days are recommended for better acclimatization and summit success. This tour package’s unique appeal lies in its hut-based lodging, which offers a more comfortable option for trekkers looking for an approachable yet authentic Kilimanjaro experience.

Descend via the scenic Mweka trail, sharing the journey with a like-minded group. This trek is suitable for both novice high-altitude hikers and experienced mountaineers seeking a classic Kilimanjaro experience. The unique feature is the route’s optimal balance of altitude gain and rest, making your summit attempt both achievable and memorable.
Keen trekkers searching for a challenging yet rewarding Kilimanjaro ascent will find the 6-day Machame Route—known as the “Whiskey” route—irresistible. Compared to Marangu, expect longer, steeper hiking days and more dramatic scenery, from the vast Shira Plateau to the towering Barranco Wall. The route’s climb-high, sleep-low strategy aids acclimatization and boosts summit success rates, while nights in tents under the stars appeal to those with a taste for adventure.
