The Machame Route, also called the Whiskey Route, is the most popular route on Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers great views, good acclimatization, and a high summit success rate. The trek usually takes 6 or 7 days. The climb starts at Machame Gate and passes through rainforest to Machame Camp, then continues to Shira 2 Camp. Climbers hike to Lava Tower for acclimatization and descend to Barranco Camp. The route continues through Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp, the last camp before the summit. On summit day, climbers hike via Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), then descend to Mweka Camp and finish at Mweka Gate. The tour includes guides, porters, camping equipment, meals, and park fees.
