The Machame Route is a popular trekking route. It is also known as the “Whiskey Route” due to its challenging nature. The Machame Route is considered one of the most scenic routes, offering stunning views of the mountain and surrounding landscape.
The Machame Route takes 6-7 days to complete and is best suited for experienced hikers and trekkers with a good level of physical fitness. The route starts at the Machame Gate and follows a path through the lush Machame Forest, where hikers can spot various species of wildlife, before reaching the Shira Plateau. From there, the trail continues to the Barranco Camp, where hikers cross the steep Barranco Wall, and then on to the Karanga Valley and finally to the summit at Uhuru Peak.
While the Machame Route is considered more challenging than some other routes up Kilimanjaro, it also offers a greater chance of acclimatization and a higher success rate for reaching the summit. It is important to take proper precautions and be well-prepared for the physical demands of the hike, including hiring a reputable guide and carrying proper equipment and supplies.
