About the Machame Route
The Machame Route - often referred to as the "Whiskey Route" - is one of the most popular and scenic paths to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at Uhuru Peak, in Tanzania. Beginning at Machame Gate and descending via Mweka Gate, the route covers approximately 62 kilometers and is typically completed in 6 to 7 days, though longer itineraries are common to allow for better acclimatization. Known for its challenging terrain and excellent ‘climb high, sleep low’ profile, the Machame Route passes through diverse ecosystems, including rainforest, heath, alpine desert, and glaciated summit slopes. The trek is physically demanding due to steep ascents and high altitude, making proper acclimatization and experienced guides essential for a successful summit attempt.
