The Machame route, also known as the Whiskey route, was once one of the most popular and crowded paths on Kilimanjaro. However, many adventurers are now opting for the Lemosho route as an alternative to avoid the crowds, making Machame less populated compared to Lemosho. This route is a favorite due to its stunning scenery and high success rates. The Machame route boasts one of the highest summit success rates because its topography and nature allow climbers to “trek high & sleep low,” making it an excellent choice for acclimatization.

This path provides some of the most breathtaking views on the mountain. The Machame route begins on the southwestern side and ascends steeply northward, crossing the Shira plateau and eventually merging with the Shira and Lemosho routes just beyond the Shira cave camp. The Machame route can be completed in a minimum of 6 days, but a 7-day trek is advised to ensure climbers are well-rested and acclimatized before the final ascent to the summit.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
