Machame Route 6 Days Tour

The 6 days Machame route is specially designed to give you enough time to acclimatise and summit safely, giving you an edge over the 6 days Machame Route variant. The Machame route that goes along popularly nicknamed, the “Whiskey” route is probably the most popular route used to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Machame’s advantage and strong point is the fact that the trail’s environment offers unparalleled natural beauty.

However, this route is a big favorite for adventure seekers as it is more challenging, steep and difficult compared to the other routes on Mount Kilimanjaro, therefore it is recommended that climbers fly this route should at least have previous trekking experience at high altitudes. Since the Machame route is shorter, it is suitable for climbers who need a few days of climbing and those who do not have enough time otherwise, the longer the route, the higher the summit success rate.
