Kilimanjaro trekking on Machame route
Trekking during the day and overnights in campsites.
For trekkers with a taste for challenge and breathtaking scenery, the Kilimanjaro Machame route—often called the Whiskey route—stands as the most popular path to Africa’s highest summit. Favored for its dramatic views and diverse landscapes, this route demands physical fitness and some hiking experience, as trails are steeper and distances longer compared to the more gradual Marangu route. Over six or seven days, you’ll trek from the lush rainforest at Machame Gate to the high-altitude Shira Plateau, circling the southern flanks of the mountain before summiting from the east and descending via the Mweka trail. Covering approximately 62 kilometers, this trekking trip is designed for those ready to push their limits while soaking up spectacular vistas from every angle. The route’s unique selling point is its combination of varied habitats and panoramic viewpoints, offering a truly immersive Kilimanjaro experience for ambitious adventurers.
Please be absolutely careful and do not work with this tour operator, they are Thiefs !!
Great experience with this tour operator. Organization was all perfect. Our head guide Filbert and his entire team were fantastic, they clearly knew what they were doing and that experience shone through the entire trek. Very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and competent.
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic trek with this tour specialist to the top of Kilimanjaro. They customized our entire 8 day trip and helped assure all of our hard preparation work was fully rewarded when we reached our goal of Uhuru! This was by far the most physically demanding and emotionally rewarding thing we have ever done! The operator came highly recommended to us by 2 friends who had taken separate treks with them. We agree that this is an exceptionally well handled Tanzanian company. The whole team was excellent and made our trek particularly memorable and fun with the enthusiastic singing and greetings by the team on several occasions. Lefrank - France
