6 Days Machame Route

The Machame Route is one of the most scenic and popular trails for climbing Kilimanjaro, offering breathtaking landscapes and a high summit success rate. Known as the “Whiskey Route” due to its more challenging nature compared to the “Coca-Cola Route” (Marangu), Machame provides excellent acclimatization through the “climb high, sleep low” approach, increasing your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak.

The trek begins at Machame Gate (1,800m), winding through lush rainforest before ascending to Shira Camp, where it merges with the Lemosho Route. From there, the route traverses the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, passing Lava Tower and descending to Barranco Camp. Climbers then tackle the Great Barranco Wall, continue through Karanga Valley, and reach Barafu Camp, the base for the final summit push. After conquering Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the descent follows the Mweka Trail, ensuring a varied and well-rounded experience.

Climbers can choose between a six-day or seven-day itinerary. The six-day route skips Karanga Camp, requiring a longer trek to Barafu Camp before the summit attempt. The seven-day option includes an extra day at Karanga Camp, allowing better acclimatization and increasing the likelihood of reaching the summit.

With stunning scenery, diverse landscapes, and a well-structured approach to altitude adaptation, Machame is an excellent choice for adventurers looking to challenge themselves on Africa’s highest mountain.

From there, you will traverse diverse climate zones, from lush alpine meadows to the crisp, cold air of the snow-capped summit. With its smooth and gradual ascent, Lemosho boasts the highest success rate among Kilimanjaro routes.

We offer both seven and eight-day programs, allowing you to choose based on your available time, but we highly recommend the longer options for better acclimatization and a more enjoyable climb.
