Also referred to as the “Whiskey Route“, the Machame route is more challenging than the Marangu Route but offers the most picturesque views. This path treats travelers to stunning vistas such as the Shira Plateau, the Lava Tower, and the Barranco Wall. Despite its difficulty, the Machame route boasts a 60% summit success rate and is thus very popular, resulting in it often being the most crowded. The seven-day duration provides ample time for rest, acclimatization, and preparation for the summit climb. Although more physically demanding with steep paths, numerous valleys, and ridges, and necessitates camping instead of hut accommodation, the Machame route remains a favorite for many.
