Overview

On this trek, you will ascend the highest peak on the African continent, Mount Kilimanjaro, via the Machame route. Also known as the Whiskey route, Machame was the first camping route established for hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.  

The Machame region was initially referred to as the Great African Giant. Its steep hills and ever-changing climate will challenge even the most skilled and adventurous hiking enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the mesmerizing views and diverse ecosystems as you ascend the Giant will captivate you with the wonders of the region.  

The journey begins with a short drive from Moshi town to the Machame gate before the hike commences. The route starts from the south, veers westward, and later traverses beneath Kilimanjaro's southern ice field before you reach the summit from the southeast of the mountain.  

Trip Highlights:  

- Stand atop one of the world's seven tallest peaks at 19,340 feet.  

- Traverse Kilimanjaro's Machame Route, renowned for its breathtaking scenery.
