Kilimanjaro Climb - Machame Route (7 Days)

An epic adventure to Africa's summit

The Machame Route, also known as the "Whiskey Route", is one of the most scenic and challenging options to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Over 7 days and 6 nights, you will walk a route with breathtaking landscapes, from tropical forests to arid alpine desert, before arriving at Kilimanjaro's iconic summit: Uhuru Peak (5895 m). This route is ideal for hikers with a good level of fitness seeking a true adventure. With more time for acclimatization and gradual ascents, the Machame Route offers a higher summit success rate compared with other routes.

Featured destinations

• Arusha - Starting point of the expedition, where you will receive pre-trek instructions.
• Moshi - Kilimanjaro's base town, meeting point with the team of guides and porters.
• Kilimanjaro National Park - A journey through diverse ecosystems, from tropical rainforest to the snow-capped summit.

What makes the Machame Route special

This route is famous for its scenic beauty and its gradual ascent design, which allows for better acclimatization and a higher success rate. Unlike the Marangu Route, where you sleep in huts, on the Machame Route nights are spent in tents, adding an authentic touch of adventure.
