Known as the "Whiskey Route", Machame is Kilimanjaro's most popular path to the summit — dramatic, varied scenery and a well-proven "climb high, sleep low" acclimatization profile.
Machame approaches Kilimanjaro from the south, climbing through rainforest into moorland and alpine desert before joining the summit push from Barafu Camp. Its varied scenery and reliable acclimatization profile have made it the most popular route on the mountain — a reputation that comes with more fellow trekkers on the trail, but also the best-developed camps and crew support.
