Kilimanjaro Mountaineers

6-Day Machame Route - Kilimanjaro Climbing

The Machame Route, often called the 'Whiskey Route,' is one of the most scenic and popular routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. It follows the southern circuit of the mountain and offers excellent acclimatization, varied landscapes, and a true wilderness trekking experience.

A 6-day climb with Kilimanjaro Mountaineers balances challenge and acclimatization, though it remains a demanding trek requiring good fitness and mental resilience.

This route is ideal for experienced trekkers with good fitness and prior hiking experience, adventurous clients seeking diverse terrain and dramatic views, and climbers comfortable with camping and long hiking days.
