8-Day Kilimanjaro Trekking: Machame Route

Machame Route (also known to as the "Whiskey Route") is the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro with high summit success rate. It rewards hikers with scenic splendors. From late afternoon sunsets at Shira to the misty revelations of Kibo at the great Barranco Wall, witness a scenic "slide show" as you trek to the top of the world's highest free-standing mountain. There is an added benefit to taking the Machame Route, as you are afforded the most valuable commodity on the mountain: acclimatization. The route takes you high to Lava Tower (4,630m) on Day 3 and brings you down by nearly 700m for an overnight at Barranco camp (3,950m). This is the secret to successful acclimatization. (Note: All your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all your meals. While the accommodation on the Marangu route is in huts, the Machame route offers strictly tents only accommodation.) See the itinerary section for more details about this tour.

Kilimanjaro Climb: 6 Days Marangu Route

The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Marangu Gate. From there you follow the trail that takes you to the top of the mountain via Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and of moderate intensity. The only portion that is quite demanding is the approach to the summit. However, you also have the option of adding a day for acclimatization at an additional amount if you want to. The advantage of this route is that kiosks selling mineral water bottles, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are available in camp sites throughout the climb. For more details, please scroll down to the itinerary section.

My husband and I have just completed the Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Trek and don't believe our experience could have been bettered. We were initially concerned that we were the only two people booked for this week with Explore and would miss out on the group experience. We really didn't feel this way. We were supported on the climb by our wonderful guides Julius and Eli and also by the fabulous team of Porters. So humbling to recognise their efforts and strength in managing all of the equipment and logistics. They also cooked us incredible meals with humour, smiles and even songs. The trek, terrain and altitude were a challenge for us and we could probably have benefitted from being some years younger! But we always knew we were completely safe and cared for with incredible attention. Great trip, many memories, thank you.

We have been contacted by the tour organizer, Gabriel, the day before the trip started. We then met our driver and the cook the day after to start off to Tarangire. I can highly recommend the trip since we have seen lots of animals, especially in Serengeti. Our driver knew the animals and had interesting stories to tell about them. The food was good either. We had someone joining after the first 3 days, so that we were three people in the jeep which was comfortable at any time.

4.0 - Very Good

The actual trip and guides were very good. Our lead guide appeared very quiet and didn’t join us for meals and was a bit allusive, but as a knowledgeable, experienced, competent guide excellent. Explore as a company I will not be using again or recommending, as very slow to reply to questions and limited kit list information and no training schedule for such a massive endeavour, which other companies provide as a matter of course. When asked, was told they are just an agent and there is plenty of information on the internet regarding that. Not helpful at all. However, staff in Tanzania were very curious, friendly and helpful. Actual Experience in Tanzania and group amazing. Group also discussed that it would’ve been good to have been able to discuss things with each other before the trip started . Explore said this was not possible to set up a WhatsApp group and just dismissed it
