The Machame Route, also known as the “Whiskey Route”, is one of Kilimanjaro’s most scenic and popular trekking paths. It offers diverse landscapes, from lush rainforest and moorland to alpine desert and glacial summit. Though steeper and more demanding than the Marangu Route, it offers excellent acclimatization opportunities with its “climb high, sleep low” profile. This 6-day itinerary is ideal for adventurous hikers ready for a rewarding challenge.
