Known as the “Whiskey Route”, the Machame Route is the most popular and scenic path up Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m / 19,341ft). This 7-day trek offers breathtaking landscapes, from lush rainforest and moorlands to alpine desert and glacier views near the summit. With good acclimatization and varied terrain, the Machame Route is considered one of the most rewarding ways to reach Uhuru Peak.
Summit Challenge – Machame Route – 7 Days
The Machame Route is ideal for adventurous climbers seeking both challenge and beauty. Unlike the Marangu Route, accommodation is in tented camps, creating a more authentic wilderness experience. The 7-day itinerary allows for better acclimatization compared to the shorter 6-day option, greatly improving summit success. Trekkers will enjoy sweeping views, dramatic ridges, and a sense of achievement as they conquer Africa’s highest mountain.
