The Machame route, as known as the “Whiskey route” is the second most popular route for Kilimanjaro climbers. This route offers a wide variety of views, landscapes and experiences. The route starts at the Machame Gate. The route is located on the southern slope of Mt Kilimanjaro. Machame Gate will lead you to the top of Kilimanjaro through a footpath which starts at the tropical forest, then runs through all the climate zones and finishes with the Arctic desert in the summit area.
Camps along the trek are favorably located for a smooth and gradual acclimatization transition process. On the 3rd day Machame Route converges with Lemosho and Umbwe at Barranco camp.
The route will allow you summit within 7 days.
