The Machame Route of Mount Kilimanjaro, also referred to as the Whisky Route, is among the most picturesque and thus, frequently chosen routes on the mountain. It offers climbers an adventurous journey filled with breathtaking views. The route meanders through splendid forests, ascends to a ridge across moorland areas, and proceeds to late sundowns at the Shira Plateau, revealing misty glimpses of Kibo at the formidable Barranco Wall.
Further along, it diverges beneath the glaciated cliffs of the Southern Ice fields to merge with the Barafu Route leading to the apex of the mountain. The extended timeframe for this route and a gentler ascent slope contribute to its high rate of successful summit reaches.
