The Machame route is one of my most recommended routes to climb Kilimanjaro as it offers great acclimatisation, allowing the climbers to “walk high, sleep low”, and as a result enjoy one of the highest summit success rate of all the routes to climb Mt Kilimanjaro.
It goes by the nickname of “The Whisky Route” although no whisky is available!
This 7-day program to climb Kilimanjaro offers a great acclimatisation and allows the pre-summit day to be split into 2, which means that you have 2 shorter days of trekking prior to your summit ascent. This really helps and has proved a great success, as well as a more enjoyable way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Here are some of the key facts of the ascent I organise for my clients:
Highly recommended route with best success rate Allows travellers to “walk high and sleep low” enabling better acclimatisation Ascent and descent via different routes
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through other routes is also possible: Rongai, Marangu or Lemosho.
