The Machame Route

Also known as the “Whiskey Route,” Machame is one of the most popular routes for good reason. With a mix of rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and glacial summit zones, it’s the most scenic route on the mountain — and one of the most rewarding. We spend 7 days on the trail, allowing for proper acclimatisation and increasing your summit chances.What’s Included?
