Mount Kilimanjaro - The drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 50 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. We now leave the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. Lower down, the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp.

Machame Route, also known as the “whiskey route,” is favored for its stunning views and diverse landscapes. However, it is more challenging to climb compared to the Marangu route. Despite being steeper and longer, the Machame route boasts a higher success rate than the Marangu route.
While not technically difficult, the Machame Route is more tiring due to its numerous ascents and descents across a series of valleys and ridges. This makes it ideal for those with some hiking or trekking experience and a love for adventure. For first-time climbers, the route can be quite exhausting.
The Machame Route begins in the south and heads east, passing beneath the southern ice fields before reaching the summit. Typically, it takes a minimum of six days to reach the summit via this route, though seven days is recommended.
